Rehabilitation under Act No. 18-06

Abstract

There are reasons that lead to the expiration of the sentence that erase its effects, namely the amnesty and rehabilitation. In this paper, we shall consider rehabilitation as one of the reasons for the expiry of the sentence in accordance with the amendments to the Code of Criminal Procedure in Algerian legislation. Under articles 676 to 693 bis of the Code of Criminal Procedure, any person sentenced to a felony, misdemeanour or offence by an Algerian judicial authority may be rehabilitated in accordance with these provisions. Such rehabilitation shall in future eliminate all effects of the penalty and shall be rehabilitated either by law or by judicial decision.
