Naharnet - Najjar Revokes Draft Law On Pre Trial Detention - 05 January 2010

Cabinet Secretariat has revoked a draft law on journalists' pre-trial detention of Cabinet's Tuesday session after it became clear that it allows the precautionary detention of journalists or non-journalists.
The daily al-Liwaa said Tuesday that the draft law, revoked late Monday, was adopted 10 years ago, but was not referred to Parliament for approval.

Justice Minister Ibrahim Najjar said Tuesday he was behind the decision to revoke the draft law of the Cabinet session.

He told the Voice of Lebanon radio station that his decision was aimed at "giving (the legislature) more time to review the draft law."
