Drug addicts may be amnestied in Belarus
The amnesty bill may be sent to the House of Representatives at the end of April.
The amnesty bill may be sent to the House of Representatives at the end of April, Belarusian Minister of Internal Affairs Ihar Shunevich told journalists on April 2. The amnesty will be dated for the 70th anniversary of the Victory.
Even people imprisoned for drug-related crimes may be amnestied. However, the amnesty may only affect drug addicts detained with drugs on them (not drug dealers).
The previous amnesty finished in Belarus at the end of 2014. 2027 people were released early and 2494 people had their terms reduced.
