Lebanon's parliament has abolished the death penalty, replacing it with life imprisonment and forced labor. This makes Lebanon the first Arab country in the Middle East to completely remove the death penalty from its laws. The move comes after an unofficial moratorium on executions since 2004. The law was passed without the support of the Hezbollah parliamentary bloc.
