Libya’s Supreme Judicial Council announced a decision to pardon the rest of their sentences for convicts who have completed at least half of their sentences.

The council’s press office said the pardon would be applied on relaxed terms, including serving a quarter of the term for convicts suffering from chronic illnesses or over the age of sixty.

The decision includes those sentenced to life imprisonment provided that they have served at least fifteen years of their sentence, and that they are not involved in repeated crimes or organized criminal acts.

The amnesty does not include those convicted of terrorism, state security crimes, murder, robbery under threat of violence, as well as drug-related offenses punishable by more than ten years.

The pardon is the first this year, as the last pardon was issued in April last year, during which 1,057 prisoners were pardoned in implementation of Supreme Judicial Council Resolution No. 55 of 2023.
