Falluja, Mar 13, (VOI)- A total of 235 detainees will be released in Falluja within the general pardon law approved by the Iraqi parliament earlier last month, the media spokesman for the Falluja police department said on Thursday.
“The Falluja police department will free 235 detainees within the general pardon law. The total number of detainees in Falluja is 250,” Colonel Dawood Soliman al-Maraai told Aswat al-Iraq – Voices of Iraq (VOI).
The parliament had approved the general pardon law last February. The law does not include those convicted by the Supreme Criminal Court or those charged with terrorism, kidnap, murder, rape, incest, or the smuggling of antiquities.
Falluja, Anbar province, is 45 km west of Baghdad.
Last year, the Iraqi government announced a plan to release detainees who had been cleared of any wrongdoing as part of national reconciliation efforts.
There are an estimated 32,000 detainees in U.S. and Iraqi prisons and detention centers, according to official figures released by the Iraqi government. Of this number, 18,000 are in the U.S.-run Bucca detention center in Iraq’s southern province of Basra while nearly 9,000 are in Krupper prison at Baghdad International Airport.
