AMNESTY; It is amnesty that abolishes the civil lawsuit and abolishes the imposed penalties with all its consequences. Parliament is authorized to issue. If a public lawsuit has not been filed, it will not be opened after that. If a public lawsuit is filed, the decision to drop the lawsuit is made. If the sentenced and sentenced is executed, the execution ends, if the execution has not started, the execution is not possible. If the execution is completed, the conviction is lifted with all its consequences. General amnesty sentences are deleted from the criminal record. Conviction with general amnesty is not a basis for repetition. The deprivations of rights are eliminated. General amnesty conviction does not preclude adjournment. The confiscated goods and the judicial fine paid cannot be demanded after the general amnesty. Based on the dangerous situation of the offender, the amnesty has no effect on the security measures. For example; Let’s say that a mental patient is taken to a high security hospital for treatment, in a way that minimizes the dangerous aggression around, when the amnesty is granted, the amnesty will not affect the security measures considering the dangerous situation of the person. General amnesty does not prevent the opening of a compensation case. The trial expenses are not requested from the accused/convict together with the general amnesty. For example; When a person says that he has been convicted of deliberately killing and because he suffers from a guilty conscience as a result of the general amnesty, he says that he does not want to take advantage of this amnesty, this is not possible. General pardon/ special pardon is not optional.
SPECIAL AF; after the final verdict, it affects the decision on the execution of the sentence. It’s like reducing it from 10 to 5 years. It is an amnesty that ends the execution, reduces the sentence, and turns it into a judicial fine. It does not cause the civil lawsuit to be dismissed. Because there is a finalized provision in the private pardon, the case is over, then you will not contact the private pardon about the public case, it will not cause the public case to be dismissed. However, if a public case was not opened in the general amnesty, it would not be opened, if a public case was opened, the public case would be dismissed, if he was sentenced as a result of the public case, he could not be executed, if he was executed, it would disappear with all its consequences. If a crime has been pardoned, it becomes a basis for repetition. Confiscated goods cannot be taken back. Forgiveness is applied ex officio, it is not left to the will of the person. But general amnesty and special amnesty cannot be issued for forest crimes. This is because; There are so many creatures in the forest that we do not know that crimes such as forest fires, which are made to narrow down the forests we know and do not know, and to destroy the forests, cause many lives to die. Special amnesty is issued by the Turkish Grand National Assembly. However, the president also has the authority to issue individual special amnesty limited to reasons of permanent illness, husband and disability. (Constitution 104) The special amnesty issued by this individual can reduce the sentence or remove the sentence. However, it cannot be converted into a judicial fine.
