Al-Assad issues a law that includes amendments to the arms and ammunition law in Syria
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad issued a law that includes amendments to a number of articles of the Weapons and Ammunition Law of 2001 with the aim of achieving public and private deterrence and controlling cases of misuse of weapons.
According to the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) today, Sunday, the new law tightens the fines and penalties related to the manufacture, smuggling and possession of weapons and ammunition with the intention of trafficking them, up to a twenty-year detention period and a fine of no less than three times the value of the seized weapons or ammunition.
The law also tightened penalties for carrying and possessing weapons, military pistols and their ammunition, hunting rifles and training weapons without a license, and penalties for anyone who fished with a firearm during the hunting ban period specified by a decision of the Minister of Agriculture and Agrarian Reform.
Under the law, those in possession of war weapons or ammunition that are not licensable are exempted from punishment if they hand them over to the nearest ISF center within nine months, and those in possession of weapons, ammunition or fireworks in a different manner are also exempted from punishment if they request a license in accordance with its provisions or hand them over to the nearest A center for the Internal Security Forces within nine months of the entry into force of this law.
The law gives owners of expired weapons a deadline to renew their licenses.
