Official pardon (7)

I believe the answer is:

amnesty

'official pardon' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for amnesty that I've seen before include "Period of forgiveness for infractions" , "Men stay (anag.)" , "Dispensation" , "International organisation concerned with human rights" , "A general pardon as for rebels (7)" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, The Telegraph, The Guardian, The Sun and The Times.
