His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, has ordered 1,025 prisoners to be released in the UAE.
As the Holy Month of Ramadan encourages forgiveness and tolerance, the decision was made to pardon the inmates and help them to start a new life.
With the pardoning of prisoners, the decision also helps ease the suffering of the families and assists the inmates in finding a successful professional and social life.
