Ending the Tragic Cycle: The Urgency of the Naya Hanna Law in Lebanon

2023-08-27 19:26:00
For twenty-three days, the seven-year-old Lebanese girl, Naya Hanna, was fighting death after being hit by a stray bullet in the Hadath area, south of Beirut, fired by one of those rejoicing at his son’s success in the official exams. Until I surrendered the soul last night. Since her injury, social networking sites have been on fire with calls to pray to save her.. But Naya, the only one of her parents, turned the page of her childhood and passed.

Naya is not the first victim, nor will she be the last. As long as the state is absent, and individual weapons are spread and unleashed, the Lebanese will remain committed to firing bullets, and on all occasions, whether painful or happy.

According to official statistics, bullets kill seven people and injure about 15 annually.

Yesterday, Representative Adeeb Abdel-Masih wrote on the “X” platform: “I will submit, on Wednesday, a proposal for an accelerated, repeated law that I called the (Naya Hanna) law, in which it tightens and raises the ceiling of penalties for shooters on all occasions, just as it criminalizes the owner of the property and the custodian of the occasion from which the fire was fired.” The criminal was not extradited. You are criminals, murderers, terrorists, and nothing can stop you except reciprocity.”
