Cedar Centre for Legal Studies - Quarterly Newsletter (August – December 2025)
This quarterly newsletter highlights the Cedar Centre for Legal Studies’ (CCLS) ongoing commitment to defending human rights, promoting justice, and supporting victims of torture and vulnerable groups across Lebanon and beyond.
Between August and December 2025, the Cedar Centre for Legal Studies (CCLS) continued its mission to promote justice, defend human rights, and support victims of torture and vulnerable groups in Lebanon.
The Centre advanced its four main projects on torture rehabilitation, legal protection, refugee and migrant support, and advocacy against deportation and unlawful use of force. Survivors received medical, psychological, and legal assistance, while vulnerable groups were shielded from abuse and exploitation.
Through reports and advocacy, CCLS shed light on human rights violations and reinforced its role as a defender of dignity, justice, and the rule of law.
