The Higher Judicial Council has issued a practical guide to clarify the implementation of General Amnesty Law No. 70 and harmonize interpretations. The guide is advisory, not binding: judges remain independent in interpreting the law, while being required to follow its text and the Constitutional Council’s interpretive reservations. To qualify for the amnesty, the crime must have been committed before 1 March 2026 and must not fall among the excluded offenses, including corruption, crimes against public funds, terrorism, and intentional murder. The guide distinguishes between amnesty, which extinguishes prosecutions and sentences; sentence reduction, which leaves the conviction in place; and the release of anyone who has been detained for more than 12 years, while their trial continues. Disputes are resolved through appeal procedures and disputes over enforcement.
