Up to 450 inmates would be affected by amnesty in Lithuania

“It could be around 400-450 people but I would suggest against sticking to these numbers as the process would involve personal assessment. The whole process will be thoroughly carried out,” the minister told journalists.

In his words, under the proposed amnesty, around 250 people would be released from prisons and the remaining people would avoid temporary detention as this form of punishment might be abolished altogether, the justice minister said.
