His Majesty King Abdullah II, on Wednesday, instructed the government to draft a general pardon law and proceed with its constitutional stages, on the occasion of the Silver Jubilee.

 

The King stressed the need for the draft law to safeguard public interests, in line with the principles of justice and the rule of law.

 

He expressed hope that the law would ease the burdens on citizens and assist those who have deviated from the right path to correct their course, fostering a culture of positivity, tolerance, and restorative justice.

 

Moreover, the King underscored that this initiative should serve as an opportunity for those granted amnesty to reintegrate into society with respect for the law and the rights of fellow citizens.
