Aoun Says Won't Grant Amnesty to Persons Convicted of Soldiers' Murder
President Michel Aoun on Wednesday told a delegation from the families of Army martyrs that he would not sign any “general amnesty law clearing persons convicted or yet to be convicted of soldiers' murder,” the National News Agency reported.
The government is weighing a general amnesty expected to come ahead of the country's first parliamentary elections in ten years.
The elections are scheduled for May. Lebanon had one general amnesty after the end of the civil war in 1990.
