President of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic
on amnesty of 8 December 1989
In connection with the democratisation process taking place in the social and political life of the Czechoslovak Socialist Republic, the social danger of a whole series of offences and offences governed by the criminal law and the law on crime has been reduced.

I shall pass on the penalties imposed by law and order of detention imposed before the date of this Decision for the offences referred to in Article I and the offences referred to in Article II of this Decision and the remnants thereof, and the cash penalties and the remnants thereof, the expulsion and the prohibition of residence imposed before the date of this Decision, for the offences referred to in Article I and the offences referred to in Article II of this Decision, with the effect that the date of this Decision makes it look as if it had not been convicted.
2. Persons who have been convicted before the date of this Decision for the offences referred to in Article I and the offences referred to in Article II for criminal penalties and have executed them shall be treated as if they had not been convicted.
Article I and Article II shall not apply to cases in which, at the date of this Decision, a wrongful judgment has been declared as criminal offences or offences referred to in Article I and Article II committed in connection with other offences or offences, unless an appeal is brought against the judgment. Following the legal power of such a judgment, the court shall decide to change the scope of the sentence in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
