Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has issued a decree granting a general amnesty, state media say.
The amnesty would cover political opposition movements, including the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, the reports said.
President Assad has faced months of protests against his rule.
Authorities have cracked down on demonstrators, killing more than 1,000 people and arresting at least 10,000 more, according to human rights groups.
