accused before public prosecution or the court as the case may be, and in other cases provided in the
Law. And conciliation entails the end of the criminal suit, and it is for the public prosecution to order
to cease the implementation of the punishment in case conciliation occurs during implementation.
And in case the victims are multiple as a result of one criminal act, then the conciliation shall be of
no effect in terms of the end of the criminal suit unless there is concurrence by all the victims. And
in case the victims are multiple involving several crimes whether related to each other indivisibly
or unrelated the conciliation will be of no effect except regarding the criminal suit concerning which
conciliation was in effect.”

special attorney to prove conciliation in violations whose penalty is a fine, and offenses punishable
by a fine or imprisonment for a period not in excess of six months. The proof of conciliation shall be
with the report clerk or the public prosecution, provided that the accused pays the maximum limit
of the fine decided for the punishment. And in case the criminal suit is referred to the competent
court, it is permissible for the accused- in whatever condition that the suit is in- to prove conciliation
prior to the rendering of a judgment, provided that he pays three-quarters of the maximum limit
of the fine decided for the punishment. And the Minister of Justice and Islamic Affairs shall issue
a decision specifying the party to be paid, and a consequence of the conciliation is the end of the
criminal suit, and the end of the criminal suit has no consequence for the civil suit.”
