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.
