Today, the Syrian People's Assembly approved the repeal of Article 548 of the Penal Code, which grants a reduced excuse for "honor killings," according to the Syrian news agency, SANA.
Deputy Council Chairman Director Najdat Anzour stressed that it is a first step for women's fairness, but there is still a lot to be done by all the ministries concerned to correct and correct the society’s view of women.
The previous law exempted the murderer from punishment if he killed him, citing the "honorable motive."
Killings will be treated according to the law according to the penalties in force in Syrian law, like any other crime without any consideration or mitigation.
