President of Belarus has pardoned 30 people convicted of protest crimes. The corresponding decree was signed by the head of state. “This decision is a humane gesture towards these people. They got a chance to return to normal life, family and work,” emphasized in the press service.
Among the pardoned are 7 women and 23 men. Most of the convicts are parents of minors and young children. All persons submitted for pardon were studied by the commission for the return of fugitives (under the leadership of the Prosecutor General). The mandatory conditions for pardon were met: a petition for clemency, confession of guilt, sincere remorse and a promise to lead a law-abiding life.
