Libyan rebels offer amnesty to Kadhafi soldiers

2011-05-29

National Transitional Council (TNC) chief Mustafa Abdul Jalil offered amnesty Saturday (May 28th) to soldiers who leave Moamer Kadhafi's forces, international press reported. "Those still betting on Moamer Kadhafi's regime should wake up to reality and abandon it and join the righteous and just cause," he said at a Benghazi press conference. Defectors guilty of crimes before the start of the February 17th revolution would be guaranteed "a fair trial," he added, while those who committed crimes after that date would be pardoned if they left the regime now.
