Based on Decree No. 15 of 2016 National Amnesty, the relevant authorities pardoned 103 wanted people from the towns of al-Rastan and Talbiseh and Homs neighborhoods who had earlier turned themselves in and handed over their weapons.
The pardoned ex-militants vowed officially not to do anything wrong against Syria again.
