土耳其议会启动了一项条件性特赦法案的审议程序，该法案旨在为数千名库尔德工人党（PKK）武装人员提供赦免机制[1]。此举是推进政府与PKK和平倡议的一部分，背景是PKK去年结束了长达数十年的武装斗争并宣布解散[1]。
根据法案内容，已定罪的部分PKK成员将获得刑期暂停，其调查和审判程序将延期5至10年[1]。在此期间，若申请人未涉及恐怖相关犯罪，相关案件可被撤销[1]。然而，被判故意杀人罪的人员以及2005年前被判无期徒刑的人员被排除在该法案之外[1]。申请人需在国家安全委员会发表决定后的6个月内提出申请[1]。
该措施的生效仍待关键前提满足：土耳其国家安全委员会必须确认PKK组织已完全解散并交出所有武器[1]。PKK自1984年以来的武装叛乱已造成数万人丧生[1]。
Turkey's legislature has opened deliberations on a conditional amnesty bill designed to provide a pathway for thousands of Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) militants to escape prosecution. [1] The measure is part of a broader peace initiative between the government and the PKK, which last year concluded its decades-long armed insurgency and announced its dissolution. [1]
Under the proposed legislation, sentences for certain convicted PKK members would be suspended, while investigations and trials would be postponed for five to ten years; if no terrorism-related offenses occur during this period, cases could be dismissed. [1] Notably, the amnesty excludes individuals convicted of premeditated murder and those sentenced to life imprisonment before 2005. [1] Applicants will have six months following a decision by the National Security Council to submit their applications. [1]
The provisions will only take effect once Turkey's National Security Council confirms that the organization has dissolved and surrendered all weapons. [1] The PKK's armed rebellion, which began in 1984, has claimed tens of thousands of lives. [1]
