Always returning to accept press release that's for Amnesty (8)
I believe the answer is:
reprieve
'amnesty' is the definition.
(reprieve is a kind of amnesty)
'always returning to accept press release that's' is the wordplay.
'always' becomes 'ever' (synonyms).
'returning' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'to accept' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'press release' becomes 'pr' (public relations).
'that's' becomes 'ie'.
'ever' reversed gives 'reve'.
'pr'+'ie'='prie'
'reve' enclosing 'prie' is 'REPRIEVE'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for reprieve that I've seen before include "Suspend a death sentence." , "Pardon (malefactor)" , "left off the hook" , "Temporary relief, like stay on death sentence" , "Pardon - respite" .)
