Talk:Otelo Saraiva de Carvalho

Amnesty - Discussion
The current section on amnesty has problems. I would like to submit for discussion the following proposal (I have references for each point):

The President, Mario Soares, tried to pursue a political solution. The parliament of left wing majority, supported by the socialist PS and the communist party PCP, approved an amnesty “for politically motivated offenses committed between 27 July 1976 and 21 June 1991”, which naturally included those committed by the FP 25 de Abril, but also the right wing organisations such as MDLP. This followed an earlier amnesty that covered offences until 1976 and the pardon in 1991 to the right-wing MDLP operational Ramiro Moreira that had been sentenced to 20 years.

For the approval of the amnesty, the parliament justified that “the legal complexity has made extremely difficult its legal solution. (…) with developments that do not presume the possibility of a just solution in reasonable time.” Relevant to note that amnesty is not equivalent to pardon, as it applies to whom has not been convicted, forgetting eventual committed crimes.

Outside were the so-called "blood crimes" Luluzinha2023 (talk) 23:14, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

Structure
I propose to reorganise the following section and subsections to become more neutral and more informative:

OLD STRUCTURE: Terrorism and imprisonment

- Terrorism and imprisonment

- Arrest and judgment

- Amnesty

- Assassinations and blood crimes

NEW STRUCTURE: FUP/FP 25 de abril: imprisonment and release

- Terrorism

- Imprisonment

- Judgment and amnesty on political offences

- Judgement and acquittal on blood crimes Luluzinha2023 (talk) 23:30, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
