TEHRAN (FNA)- Many defected officers and soldiers of the Syrian army have and are returning to their previous jobs after President Bashar Al-Assad granted general amnesty.


In late October, Syrian President Assad granted a general amnesty, covering crimes committed before October 29. The new presidential pardon covers crimes mentioned in the military service law, including those of fleeing from the mandatory service.

FNA Bureau in Damascus reported that thousands of defected army officers who had joined the Free Syrian Army (FSA) have now returned to the Syrian army.
