During this Monday the national prosecutor, Jorge Abbott, attended the Human Rights commission of the Upper House, instance where the pardon for detainees of the social outbreak was discussed.
Let us remember that the project entered the Senate on December 9 by opposition parliamentarians and seeks to remit the penalty of those who were detained from October 2019 until the date the initiative was presented, according to La Tercera.
On the occasion, Abbott pointed out that “pardoning or applying the amnesty law to the commission of illegal acts as serious as those contemplated in this bill, It seems to us an extraordinarily serious precedent, not only for the present, but for the future ”.
The highest prosecuting authority argued that if the project were to be approved, individuals convicted of serious crimes could benefit from the regulations.
“We do not understand some provisions of the bill, for example, excluding all public employees from the benefit of this law”he declared.
He also noted: “We want to express our deep disappointment with the terms on which the project is founded. This project is founded by making statements that are far from the truth and that offend the Public Ministry, the Defender’s Office and the courts, as if the criminal procedural system had not worked (…) It is an offense for the Public Ministry ”.
Following Abbott’s intervention, the manager of the National Prosecutor’s Office of Studies, Rolando Melo, It detailed that as of November 30, 175 detainees for alleged crimes related to the social outbreak were still under preventive detention.
