DEATH PENALTY-LEBANON:
Public Must Wait for Full Abolition Plan


Mona Alami

BEIRUT, Nov 25 (IPS) - The Lebanese government will use television to gain maximum attention for its plan to abolish the death penalty, giving one station the first right to question Justice Minister Ibrahim Najjar about the details of an abolition bill which will be eventually presented to parliament.

"In the coming weeks, the minister will unveil the draft law on a TV station which has been granted exclusive broadcasting rights," the office of the justice ministry told IPS. The ministry refused to discuss the proposed law until this interview has been granted. No official date has been set for the parliamentary debate.

As the saying goes, civilized is as civilized does.

I feel like I've been holding my breath for the past few months.

And now I'm finding the air smells fresher and cleaner than it has in years.

Welcome home, America.
