The National Party of Suriname (NPS) has vehemently denied allegations that it has agreed within the coalition to grant pardons to those convicted in the December murders case. In a formal statement, the party labeled such claims as ‘utterly false.’ The NPS clarified that it has taken note of media reports suggesting its support for clemency but firmly rejected these assertions. The party reiterated its stance that the convictions not only upheld the rule of law but also delivered justice to the victims’ families and society at large. The NPS emphasized that granting pardons is not under consideration. Instead, the party remains focused on Suriname’s development and the welfare of its citizens, pledging to uphold a robust legal system where the protection of citizens is paramount.
