1. The inmate sentenced to life imprisonment who has served the sentence for a period not less than fifteen (15) years may submit a request to the Institution Officer for his release. The officer must express his opinion on this request and then refer the request with the inmate's file to the Ministry to express its opinion on the extent of the danger of releasing the inmate to public security. The papers shall then be referred to the competent Public Prosecution to investigate the request and question the concerned parties about the inmate's behaviour and verify his good conduct and integrity. After that, the papers shall be submitted, accompanied by its opinion, to the court that issued the sentence. 2. The court shall order the release of the prisoner if it is proven that he has good conduct and is of sound character. It may make the release conditional on any of the measures stipulated in the Crimes and Penalties Law or the law on the basis of which the prisoner has been punished, if it includes such a measure. 3. The court's judgment to accept or reject the application shall be final and not subject to appeal. If the request is rejected, a new request may not be submitted before the expiration of a period of at least one year as the date of the judgment to reject the previous request.
