His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai, has ordered the release of 1,518 prisoners of different nationalities from Dubai’s correctional and punitive establishments, ahead of the Holy Month of Ramadan.
Attorney General of Dubai, His Excellency Chancellor Essam Issa Al-Humaidan, said the pardon reflects H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid’s keenness to reunite the pardoned individuals with their families during the Holy Month. The pardon gives the released prisoners an opportunity to get a fresh start in life and reintegrate into the community, he added.
Dubai Public Prosecution, in collaboration with Dubai Police, has already commenced the legal procedures to implement H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid’s order, said Al-Humaidan.
