In Aktobe, 30 convicts who are registered for probation of the Khromtau district have been amnestied

On December 8, 2021, in connection with the 30th anniversary of Independence of the Republic of Kazakhstan, guided by the principle of humanism, the law “on amnesty in connection with the 30th anniversary of Independence of the Republic of Kazakhstan” came into force and an amnesty was launched for a period of 6 months. In accordance with this Law, the amnesty applies to several groups of convicts, including socially vulnerable citizens (veterans, minors, pregnant women, elderly citizens, disabled people of groups I – II, etc.).

A separate article of the law specifies a list of citizens who are not subject to amnesty who have committed a crime. Among them are terrorist and extremist crimes against the foundations of national security, murder, torture, kidnapping, hostage-taking, crimes against sexual integrity.

"Currently, an idea has been submitted to the court on the application of amnesty in respect of 30 convicts registered with the probation service of the Khromtau district of the DUIS in the Aktobe region. Of these, the Khromtau District Court has sent documents aimed at releasing 12 citizens convicted of minor and moderate crimes that did not cause damage or served it in full, as well as reducing the unserved sentence for 18 citizens convicted of serious and especially serious crimes," said the inspector of the probation service of the Khromtau district, Senior Lieutenant of Justice Izbasar Sat.
