Decision of the President of the Republic on amnesty

Decision
President of the Republic
o amnesty
In building a socialist society in our homeland, the broad masses of workers actively and actively implement the policy of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. Socialistic legality is constantly deepened, and the political and moral unity of the people is strengthened. These facts are an expression of the strength and strength of our socialist establishment and give a guarantee that persons who have committed anti-state crimes can be completed through the process of reeducation and freedom through the direct action of collective educational power of workers.
I therefore use my right given to me by the Constitution and grant this
amnesty:
I am expressing the outstanding prison sentences or the remnants of those persons who, prior to the adoption of this Decision, have been definitively convicted of anti-state acts of sedition, abuse of religious function, defamation of the Republic and its representative, defamation of the State of the World Socialist System and its representatives, abandonment of the Republic, intrusion into the territory of the Republic, destruction of the interests of the Republic abroad, violence against the population group and against individuals, defamation of the nation, race and belief, illegal armed or spreading of the alarm.
I shall also forgive outstanding sentences of imprisonment or remnants thereof for persons who, before the decision is taken, have been definitively convicted of other anti-state offences, with the exception of those referred to in Article 4.
(1) I shall forgive the sentenced persons to whom Article 1 or Article 2 applies, as well as the penalty for the loss of civil rights and the unpaid penalty or the remainder thereof.
(2) I forgive the penalties provided for in Articles 1 and 2 on condition that the sentenced person leads the working person's proper life for a period of 10 years from this decision and does not commit an intentional offence.
Article 2 of this Decision shall not apply:
(a) the saboteurs of our socialist construction and their helpers;
(b) to perpetrators of terrorist actions, where they have used weapons or explosives in their execution;
(c) to direct agents of imperialist intelligence who have performed or at least began to perform the tasks assigned to them;
(d) organisers who have initiated or directed a terrorist, sabotage or other dangerous anti-state group, provided that this group has already begun to develop subversive activities under their direction;
(e) to perpetrators of military treason or any other antistate act, where such action has resulted in serious harm to health or death;
(f) offenders of anti-state offences causing material damage of a large scale;
(g) to offenders convicted in accordance with the Retribution Rules, where their actions have resulted in death.
This Decision shall not apply to:
(a) persons who have already been acquitted on the basis of the amnesty of 9 May 1960, but who have infringed the condition under which the pardon was granted to them, and who have been convicted again in force for an intentional offence;
(b) to persons who continue to seriously undermine the execution of the sentence or are still actively in the execution of the sentence in relation to the socialist establishment.
Done at Prague, 9 May 1962.
