A group of deputies of the Parliament of Kyrgyzstan proposed a bill to expand the list of crimes, for which amnesty cannot be applied under the law. It was announced at a meeting of the Committee on Constitutional Legislation, State Structure, Judicial, Legal Issues, and Regulations of the Parliament.
Currently, amnesty is not applied to crimes such as:
- Financing terrorist activities;
- Public calls for terrorist acts;
- Financing organized groups and criminal associations;
- Illegal arms and ammunition trafficking;

If the proposed amendments come into force, it will be impossible to apply amnesty to defendants and those convicted of creating an organized group or participation in it; creating an illegal armed formation or participation in it.
