of our president; in the palace of independence they discussed the improvement of criminal legislation, one of the current topics is the proposed amnesty. the state gives the opportunity to early release from serving a sentence to those who have taken the path of correction. to such an act of mercy in resorts to the country on the eve of important holidays. the eightieth anniversary of the liberation of belarus from fascism is ahead, and this is an occasion to revisit this topic. the position of the president - amnesty should be different, taking into account an important feature. it is clear that the bill will also be discussed in parliament and analyzed from all sides, especially since a new composition will have to work, people with fresh views, ideas, and certain ambitions, but we must take into account the crime situation in society, pay attention to the shortcomings. previous amnesties,
