MTV publishes Constitutional Council ruling on appeal against amnesty law
MTV has learned that the Constitutional Council, which held its fifth session today to review the appeal filed by MPs from the Strong Lebanon bloc against the amnesty law, unanimously decided, just days before the deadline, to strike down certain provisions of the law and issue mandatory interpretive clarifications and reservations on most of its articles.
