The adoption of the Amnesty Law is unnecessary, because its application will not change the situation with overcrowding in prisons, said the Macedonian Minister of Interior Oliver Spasovski during his visit of a training center in the Idrizovo prison on Sunday.
“My view is that neither the time nor the moment is right to pass any Amnesty law. Coverage that is at least reported to cover a fairly small number of people will also not help much. But now it is the work of Parliament. We will not have any effects regarding the carrying of the legal solution. It will not contribute significantly to freeing up places or reducing the pressure on the penal-administrative institutions. I think that the state should think strategically in increasing the capacities of prison institutions,” Minister Spasovski said.
