Parliament had approved the rule with 70 votes in favor, 32 against and 14 abstentions. The legal initiative had been presented by Congresswoman Gladys Echaíz (Alliance for Progress).

“In the case of the corpse of an inmate who had been serving a sentence with a final sentence for the crimes of treason or terrorism, in his capacity as leader, ringleader or member of the leadership of terrorist organizations, whose delivery, transfer, burial or burial puts national security or internal order at risk, the competent prosecutor, in a reasoned and unchallenged decision, orders his cremation, after a necropsy, "says the document.

“The Health Authority, in coordination with the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights and the Ministry of the Interior, executes the provisions within a maximum period of twenty-four (24) hours. The cremation is carried out in the presence of a representative of the Public Ministry, for identification purposes, who draws up the corresponding certificate ”, he adds.
