Article 13. During a meeting of the National Assembly, anyone shall receive absolute immunity for his or her speech made to provide facts or express opinions or to cast votes and shall not be liable to legal action because of the expression.

The immunity mentioned in Paragraph 1 of this article shall be extended to members of committees of the National Assembly and publishers of meeting reports as ordered by the National Assembly or members of the National Assembly. The immunity shall also be extended to persons allowed by the chair of the meeting of the National Assembly to provide facts or express opinions to the meeting and extended to the TVs and radio stations allowed by the chair of the meeting to broadcast the meeting. But the immunity will not be applied to the speaker in the case of the meeting is broadcast live on radios and TVs and the wordings are republished and the wordings are deemed violating the Criminal Code or violating the civil right of other people who are not Ministers or members of the National Assembly.

If a member of the National Assembly is detained, he or she must be released as soon as the President of the National Assembly has so requested. Or when a member of the National Assembly is prosecuted, the trial can be continued unless the President of the National Assembly requests the court to halt the trial
