Abu Dhabi [UAE]June 21 (ANI/WAM): UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan ordered the release of 988 prisoners serving time in the UAE ahead of Eid al-Adha.

The presidential pardon is in line with the UAE’s humanitarian initiatives based on the values of forgiveness and tolerance. It offers released prisoners the opportunity to embark on a new journey in life and make valuable contributions to their families and communities.

The president’s annual pardons ahead of Eid al-Adha aim to strengthen family cohesion and bonds, bring happiness to mothers and children, and give released prisoners a chance to rethink their future and reintegrate into society. (ANI/WAM)
