Berri postpones the session... for this reason
Fady Mahouly
The media office of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Nabih Berri, issued the following:
Since the intention was to propose an amnesty law and reduce some penalties on an exceptional basis. It aims to restore respect to the principle of legal justice and guarantee the freedom of individuals, especially since the situation in prisons was characterized by a chronic delay in issuing criminal rulings, and despite the efforts made by the parliamentary departments and the joint committees to reach a national consensus that would be a sign of unity in a country that is in dire need of solidarity and consensus, however, what happened and was seen in more than one region was accompanied by sectarian and sectarian incitement, and it was decided to postpone tomorrow’s session to another date with the slogan of consensus.
