President's Office said in a statement. #L#
Sibl is the first woman to head the Amnesty Commission as well as the
first to be a judge.
Mesic dissolved the previous Amnesty Commission headed by Josip
Boljkovac last December after experts and the public reacted to
some decisions, specifically Mesic's decisions to pardon several
drug dealers and a multiple murderer.
Up to then, Mesic pardoned all people at the suggestion of the
Commission.
