Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - His Majesty King Abdullah II on Thursday directed the government to issue a general pardon law according to the Constitution, in a way that would mitigate challenges and pressures facing citizens.

The King stressed that the amnesty bill should maintain the rule of law, in a manner that does not harm national and societal security, as well as citizens' rights.

His Majesty highlighted the importance of giving wrongdoers a chance to correct their course of life and behavior, emanating from keenness to protect those citizens, who committed wrongs, and are suffering from difficult circumstances accordingly.

His Majesty also underlined the importance of the general pardon law in alleviating the burdens on Jordanians, and mitigating the economic and social circumstances, to preserve their dignity and to start anew.
