Syria President Bashar al-Assad's decree is a so-called 'general amnesty' .— Reuters picDAMASCUS, May 2 — Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad issued a decree today authorising the release of prisoners, including those convicted for misdemeanours or complicity in acts of “terrorism”, state media said.

The decree includes crimes related to the terrorism act of 2012, including “conspiracy” to commit a “terrorist” act. But suspects convicted of “terrorist” acts that led to deaths would not benefit from the amnesty, according to the text of the decree published by the state news agency. Also included in the amnesty are army deserters who turn themselves in within three months—if they are in the country—or within six months if they are abroad, it added.
