The article discusses 's decision to freeze the accounts of journalist Samara Al-Qazi based on a complaint or report filed by the bank, saying the Special Investigation Commission adopted a general rule to freeze the accounts of anyone against whom Banque du Liban files a complaint. The writer argues this turns the central bank into a "sanctions office," contradicts Law No. 44/2015 that limited freezing to serious suspicions of money laundering or terrorism financing, and warns it could be used as a tool to pressure journalists and critics.
