The Public Prosecutor of Cassation, Judge Ahmed Rami Al-Hajj, stressed the necessity of adhering to the legislative text in the General Amnesty Law, and not taking into account any text that contradicts the legislative text. I will shortly sign a circular for the Public Prosecution Office of Appeal in this regard. On Wednesday, the Public Prosecutor of Cassation, Judge Ahmed Al-Hajj, issued a notice to the Public Prosecution of Appeal and the Financial Public Prosecution regarding the general amnesty. The report requested obtaining a criminal record for the person convicted or prosecuted from Form No. 2, in addition to all documents and archives belonging to the convict or detainee from all security services. The communication pointed out the importance of verifying that there are no prosecutions against the convict or detainee that would prevent him from benefiting from amnesty, especially in the cases stipulated in Article 2 of the fifth paragraph relating to cases of legal repetition and multiple prosecutions in drug cases, and Article 13 relating to theft crimes. The communication pointed out that an operations room had been formed in the center of each governorate under the supervision of the Public Prosecutor of Appeal in order to quickly decide whether to provide judicial authorities with these documents. “The communication comes after the House of Representatives approved the General Amnesty Law on August 12, 2026, for the first time since 1991, with the aim of alleviating overcrowding in prisons, according to what Al Jazeera reported. On October 12, the Constitutional Council issued its decision regarding the appeal submitted by the law, partially accepting it, partially rejecting it, invalidating some of its articles, and imposing binding interpretative reservations that limited the scope of the crimes covered by the amnesty, according to “An-Nahar” newspaper.
