Gebran Bassil, head of the "Free Patriotic Movement" and MP, wrote on "X": "The Constitutional Council succeeded with its partial annulment and interpretive reservations, where the Parliamentary Council criminalized [the act], and we succeeded with it in limiting the disaster of the general amnesty and addressing many issues such as excluding financial corruption, respecting the rights of victims' families and army martyrs, and acquitting wronged Islamists.
