Two participants in the anti-Jewish Terror, convicted to prison for the crime they committed, were granted amnesty by the government.
Stefan Kucsera, peasant, and Michael Gyallay, teacher, who were sentenced to four and three months imprisonment respectively, were granted the amnesty. They were sentenced for throwing a bomb into the house of the only Jewish resident of the village Jaskerjenoc. The explosion of the bomb caused the death of the Jew.
In giving the reasons for the amnesty, the official statement declares that the prisoners “acted for political reasons, having been embittered because of the dismembering of the fatherland and because they suffered imprisonment under the proletarian regime.”
