Baghdad: Muhannad Abdel Wahhab
Parliamentary and popular circles are awaiting the parliament’s approval of the general amnesty law after its amendment. Politicians and parliamentarians called for proceeding with approving the law because of the importance it represents to a wide segment of the public, especially the “Sunni” from the “Progress” and “Sovereignty” blocs, indicating that political consensus will be the master of the situation regarding for the entry into force of the General Amnesty Law.
The deputy head of the Parliamentary Legal Committee, Abd al-Karim Abtan, said in an interview with "Al-Sabah": "The government was formed on the basis of a political agreement that includes a number of paragraphs related to the public (progress) and the (sovereignty) coalition, foremost of which is the issuance of a general amnesty law according to specific time periods." ".
He added, "The second legislative term began a few days ago, and it was not a simple period that passed since the formation of the government, and we did not see seriousness in implementing the agreed-upon government program, which makes us question the seriousness of implementing what was agreed upon, and this matter is not in the interest of the country and the partnership."
political".
Abtan renewed his demand for Prime Minister Muhammad Shia'a al-Sudani to fulfill his obligations that he set in his government program, "We are all confident in al-Sudani's political personality and noble morals, as we knew him through our personal experience with him."
And he stated that "a few days ago, the Rusafa Criminal Court issued a ten-year prison sentence against a (false secret informant)," explaining that "this confirms what we have been talking about over the past years, with the presence of thousands of innocent people in prisons as a result of the notorious (secret informant's slander)," and added that "prisons It is full of young people who have been arrested on suspicion and for unknown reasons, and some of them have been in prison for a long time, and for this reason it has become necessary to expedite the legislation of the general amnesty law in accordance with the political agreement.
The representative of the State of Law, which is part of the coordination framework, Aref Al-Hamami explained in an interview with "Al-Sabah" that "there is no accurate inventory of those covered by the general amnesty law," noting that "the number of those covered is not calculated in a way, but rather by setting controls for those included, because there are crimes that are not covered by it." Premeditated murder, which requires concession by the victim's family, theft of public money, and terrorism crimes that have been 100% proven against the terrorist.
He added, "The provisions of the law are many, including the retrial of (the secret informant) and many legal paragraphs in the law, and the law has reached good stages in the House of Representatives, and this law needs political consensus by the political blocs, and after that we decide whether to proceed with the law or not." No, and he indicated that “the law is one of the laws that needs permission and approval from the political blocs, and many laws need consensus from the political blocs to proceed with it and determine who is covered.”
For his part, the political analyst, Issam al-Faili, believes that "any law issued - especially sensitive laws such as the general amnesty law - must be preceded by constructive dialogues between the political blocs in order to stabilize the joints of the amnesty and who are the parties."
covered by it.”
He added, "With regard to the general amnesty law, the vision is basically intersecting between the political forces, and there are those who want from the paragraphs of the law (a retrial and the recording of all confessions related to this trend), as well as there are important joints such as (will a general amnesty be granted for issues related to the security of society, such as those of Drugs and the like?” And, “Will the law include those sentenced to death, or only others who have criminal charges?”
Al-Hamami concluded by saying: "These visions and intersections remain between the political forces, and everyone wants to explain them on his part, far from being prepared by specialists in psychology, sociology, and legal elites."
And the Parliamentary Legal Committee had announced earlier, during the formation of the Sudanese government, its intention to amend the general amnesty law, which was approved in 2016 and was considered at the time to have emptied its content, and the Sunni forces had adopted, in their recent election campaigns, reviewing the files of tens of thousands of detainees, especially Those who were convicted according to the "secret informant"'s slanders, or of forcibly extracting confessions from them.
Parliament had approved, at the end of August 2016, the general amnesty law, after long political disputes, but parliamentary blocs considered that it had emptied its content, after deleting a number of items and paragraphs related to reviewing the file of the convicts and the circumstances of their trial.
