What was said in the plenum
Supporters saidautoUnlike previous arrangements, the bill excludes all security prisoners from eligibility for administrative release, as part of the fight against terrorists and unlike the policy of the previous government.Speakers who made this point: 2Opponents saidautoAdministrative release, and especially its expanded version, is not an ideal solution because it releases prisoners before their time without taking into account the circumstances of the offense, the personal circumstances of the offender, the harm to victims of the offense, or the rehabilitation processes the prisoner has undergone.Speakers who made this point: 12 members spoke · 22 reservations
