Furthermore, the idea that the general amnesty applies to a sensitive security office that was abused in order to carry out the coup and eject citizens without due process is just absurd. Amnesty means he won't be charged with a crime. Full stop.
This is a no-brainer that shouldn't have ended up anywhere near this contentious. I legitimately don't know why every issue has to become this controversial.
Maybe I got a little pissy, but when I saw people talking about treason charges - in direct contravention of the general amnesty - my temper snapped.
