La ley de amnistía general del Líbano, la primera desde 1991, entró en vigor tras publicarse en el Boletín Oficial el 15 de octubre. El 12 de octubre el Consejo Constitucional rechazó por unanimidad el recurso del bloque del Movimiento Patriótico Libre, aunque pidió aclarar varias disposiciones sobre corrupción, según Arab News.

Cubre delitos cometidos antes del 1 de marzo de 2026 y excluye, entre otros, el asesinato premeditado, el terrorismo, la traición, la violación, la trata, la violencia doméstica y los delitos contra fondos públicos, el lavado de dinero, el enriquecimiento ilícito y los delitos bancarios. Hasta 4.000 presos podrían beneficiarse, según un abogado.

Entre los primeros liberados está el tiktoker Georges Dib, «Doctor Food», cuyo caso de drogas fue cerrado, según AFP y Gulf News; su abogado niega los cargos.
