KurdistanObserver.com   Kurdish PM Says Kurdistan Considers Applying Amnesty Law Baghdad, Apr 15, (VOI) - Kurdish Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani on Tuesday said that his government is considering the implementation of the General Amnesty Law, approved by the Iraqi Parliament last February. This came during his meeting with Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi in Baghdad, according to the statement released by al-Hashemi’s office and received by Aswat al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq – (VOI). “The meeting dwelt on several important points, including the current political and security developments after the military operations in Basra as well as the General Amnesty Law, recently issued in Kurdistan,” the statement added. “The Kurdish government has not rejected the law, but plans to seriously study it and will announce its position in the coming two days,” it said. In February 2008, the Iraqi Parliament enacted the General Amnesty bill that allows the release of Iraqi detainees, according to certain terms and conditions, exclusively from Iraqi detention centers. The Iraqi Presidential Council ratified the Law on March 27, 2008, and it was implemented on the same month.         Copyright © 2002, Kurdistan Observer
