In February 2008, the Iraqi Parliament enacted the
General Amnesty bill that allows the release of
Iraqi detainees, according to certain terms and
conditions, exclusively from Iraqi detention centers.
The Iraqi Presidential Council ratified the Law on
March 27, 2008, and it was implemented on the same
month.
