Lebanon's President Aoun and PM Salam honor fallen journalists on Press Martyrs' Day

LBCI06-05-2025
On the occasion of Lebanese Press Martyrs' Day, marked annually on May 6, President Joseph Aoun emphasized that true loyalty to the sacrifices of fallen journalists lies in preserving national unity and building a strong state that safeguards the dignity of its people.
"Journalism's martyrs are a symbol of Lebanon's unyielding will that refuses submission and defeat," Aoun said, noting that their sacrifices remain a guiding light for freedom and dignity. He reaffirmed his commitment to pursuing the Lebanon that those martyrs dreamed of—a country rooted in justice, equality, and honor.
Prime Minister Nawaf Salam also paid tribute to the journalists who were killed defending truth and justice, stating that their voices "will continue to resonate in the face of oppression and tyranny."
"We bow in reverence to their souls," Salam added. "They were the voice of freedom and dignity. Mercy to those brave individuals, and it is our responsibility to deliver justice for their legacy and for the future they envisioned."
Salam concluded that "the ink of their pens still draws the path toward a sovereign, just, and strong state—a path we remain committed to out of loyalty to their memory and for the protection of future generations."

'Inclusion is a right:' Lebanon's first lady welcomes first employee with disability at presidential palace

Lebanon's First Lady, Nehmat Aoun, announced that, for the first time, a person with a disability has joined the presidential palace team, marking a milestone in promoting inclusion at the highest levels of government. "Welcome, Ali," she said in a social media post. She emphasized that this step is not just a hiring decision but the start of fully implementing Law 220/2000 and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, both ratified by President Joseph Aoun on April 10, 2025. These legal frameworks guarantee equal rights and opportunities for people with disabilities in all areas. "Ali's presence at the palace serves as a daily reminder that inclusion is not a choice but a fundamental right for every individual," she further noted. للمرة الأولى في القصر الجمهوري، ينضم إلينا شخص من ذوي الإعاقة إلى فريق العمل. أهلاً وسهلاً بك يا علي. — First Lady Nehmat Aoun - نعمت عون (@lbfirstlady) July 6, 2025
