All opposition groups in the Congress of Deputies of Spain today signed an appeal to the Constitutional Court (TC) against the law that amends the Criminal Code to consider the revisable permanent prison that includes a “hidden life imprisonment “.
The Congress approved the reform of the Penal Code in March this year with the votes of government Popular Party (PP, center-right) and this will come into force July 1 morning.
One of the objectives of the rule is that the terrorists who cause death they would receive “maximum imprisonment” under the Criminal Code, following the entry into force will be the revisable permanent prison .
An appeal against that provision states that the revisable permanent prison violates several articles of the Spanish Constitution, which prohibits inhuman punishments and favors the possibility of reintegration.
The socialist deputy group (main opposition party), Miguel Angel Heredia, who drafted the appeal, said the revised Penal Code contests twelve articles of the Criminal Code regulating the new penalty.
“Life imprisonment he wants the PP is not going to never apply in our country. The PP is believed perpetual but it is not and as (Mariano) Rajoy quit the government there will be a new majority to repeal the imposition facing all groups, “said Socialist deputy.
Government sources stressed that this new sentence no other purpose than to prove the rehabilitation and reintegration of the offender once he has completed a period of between 25 and 35 years, depending on the type of crime and if one or several, to review the sentence.
In case of not accrediting the reintegration, the prisoner may request a further review every two years.
