73. 政府指出，指控称在 2019 冠状病毒病大流行期间，许多在刑事案件中被定罪的囚犯被释放，而诸如 Fadhul 先生(案件 5)等良心犯和政治犯普遍被排除在替代刑罚之外(见上文第 41 段)。政府指出，关于替代刑罚和措施的 2017 年《第 18号法》明确规定了可以替代刑罚必须满足的法律条件。当这些条件得到满足时，主管当局实施该法律的规定，执行替代处罚。
73. The Government notes the allegations that many prisoners convicted in criminal cases were released in the light of the COVID-19 pandemic, while prisoners of conscience and political prisoners such as Mr. Fadhul (case 5) were generally excluded from benefiting from alternative sentences (see para. 41 above). The Government notes that Law No. 18 of 2017 on alternative penalties and measures clarifies the legal conditions that must be met for the possibility of replacing the penalty, and when those conditions are met, the competent authority puts the provisions of the law into effect and the penalty is replaced.
