Iraq's 1988 amnesties leave drug traffickers excluded

In September 1988 Iraq declared three amnesties: for army deserters, for certain economic and political offences, and for Egyptian nationals. The Egyptian-national amnesty explicitly excluded drug trafficking and premeditated murder, so drug traffickers remained outside the relief.[1]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Iraq here.
