155 persons from the city of Homs and its northern countryside had their legal status settled on Wednesday in the framework of the Amnesty Decree No. 15 for 2016.

SANA’s reporter in Homs said that 155 persons from the towns of al-Rastan, Talbiseh, al- Houla, and a number of neighborhoods in the city of Homs have had their legal status settled after they turned themselves in, handed over their weapons to the authorities, and pledged to not carry out any act that might harm the homeland or affect its security.

The Amnesty Decree stipulates for granting an amnesty for those who turn themselves in to the authorities and lay down their weapons.
