News from KT:

The two men jailed for attempting to murder Livinpress editor Ahmed Mira have been released under a general amnesty issued by President Barzani and approved by the Kurdistan parliament .

In Nov 2008 the Sulaymani security office charged these men and a court sentenced them sentenced to six years in jail.

Shiek Osman , Ahmed Mira’s lawyer, told sbeiy .com: “By law, if you serve three-quarters of your original sentence, you will be able to get out of jail conditionally”.

A psychologist told the same website that the general amnesty is bad for society because it will encourage criminals to think they can get away with their crimes.
