According to the guidelines, subjects eligible for amnesty include: people sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment or life imprisonment that has been reduced to fixed-term imprisonment, who are serving their prison sentences in prisons or detention camps (prisoners); and people whose prison sentences are temporarily suspended.
Regarding the conditions for proposed amnesty, according to the provisions of Point c and Point e, Clause 1, Article 18 of Decree No. 118/2024/ND-CP dated September 30, 2024 of the Government detailing the implementation of a number of articles of the Law on Enforcement of Criminal Judgments, the classification of serving the second quarter prison sentence is on the last day of May.
Therefore, by the time the prisons and detention camps meet to consider and propose amnesty, the prisoners must have had enough quarters to be classified as fair or good for each sentence level and the following period from June 1 to the date the Council meets to consider and propose amnesty of the prisons and detention camps must be commented on and evaluated as having served their prison sentences as fair or good.
Time served in prison is the time spent in detention, temporary detention, serving a prison sentence in a prison or temporary detention camp, not including the time spent on bail, deferred, temporarily suspended, and the time spent in reduced prison sentence terms.
The time spent under compulsory medical treatment during the investigation, prosecution, trial, and execution of the sentence is also counted towards the time spent serving the prison sentence.
The time of reduction of prison sentence is calculated to be deducted from the remaining prison sentence.
For example: Nguyen Van A was sentenced to 12 years in prison, arrested on August 31, 2016, as of August 31, 2025, Nguyen Van A has actually served 9 years, has had his prison sentence reduced 3 times, a total of 2 years, then the remaining prison sentence is 1 year.
Regarding implementation time, the Guidelines clearly state that from July 20, 2025 to August 2, 2025, interdisciplinary appraisal teams will directly visit units and localities to check and appraise dossiers and lists of proposed pardons.
From July 24, 2025 to August 8, 2025, the Standing Committee of the Amnesty Advisory Council will compile documents and send the list to the members of the Amnesty Advisory Council for research and appraisal.
From August 8, 2025 to August 18, 2025, the Standing Committee of the Amnesty Advisory Council and the Supreme People's Court will synthesize the opinions of the members of the Amnesty Advisory Council and prepare documents, a list of people eligible for amnesty, and a list of people ineligible for amnesty to submit to the Advisory Council for review.
From August 24, 2025 to August 26, 2025, the Amnesty Advisory Council met to review the amnesty list.
