LEBANON: DEATH ROW INMATES PLEAD FOR SECOND CHANCE

a gathering held inside Lebanon’s largest prison, Roumieh, urged the Lebanese government to move toward formal abolition of the death penalty. “It’s true that in Lebanon there are, for the time being, no executions, but there is no official moratorium,” said Tanya Awad Ghorra, communication officer at the Lebanese Association for Civil Rights (LACR).
