  1. The first country in the Middle East to do so. I can imagine most of us here are opposed to the death penalty. An positive sign in a country that’s been mirred by conflict for most of the past century.

  2. >A majority of Lebanon’s 128-member parliament voted in favor of ending the death penalty, with the exception of the parliamentary bloc of Hezbollah.

    Starting to think these Hezb fellas are bad guys.
