Assad offers another amnesty

Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad has granted an amnesty to his opponents.

According to the BBC, this would apply to all those who committed a crime during the 10-month uprising. 

Several thousands of people have been detained in the past year. 

Countless others have been killed during the protests. 

The official pardon is not the first Assad has granted. 

This leaves some skeptical of the impact it will have on the current crisis.
