    WHO WILL BE AMNESTIED

    Law - Tuesday, 01 October 2013, 21:09

    The National Assembly is discussing Serzh Sargsyan's proposal on
    amnesty under a special procedure. The minister of justice Hrair
    Tovmasyan presented the draft edict on amnesty. He noted that the
    results of the previous amnesty were essential to this proposal on
    amnesty. After the amnesty of 2011 only 20% of 1056 released convicts
    recidivated. According to the minister, this means that the amnesty
    served the intended goal. He noted that amnesty will reduce by 1/3
    sentences for larceny, fraud, embezzlement or squander, cyber larceny,
    illegally taking possession of or deliberately destroying someone's car
    etc. The amnesty will reduce by ¼ sentences for abduction, illegally
    depriving someone of freedom, banditry, robbery, trafficking in
    radioactive materials etc. Hrair Tovmasyan noted that for the first
    time amnesty will be exercised towards those who have committed grave
    crimes, such as murder, deliberately working a severe injury etc. It is
    proposed to reduce their sentences by six months, this group includes
    persons with long sentences. The amnesty will also be exercised towards
    people with first and second groups of disabilities, pregnant women,
    parents of children under three, persons who committed the crime at
    the age under 16, veterans of World War II or Artsakh War, parents or
    children of combat victims. The amnesty will not cover those sentenced
    for rape, sexual abuse of adolescents, immoral actions, terrorism,
    financing terrorism, banditry, usurpation, spying, assassination,
    aggressive war, genocide.
