HH Sheikh Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Fujairah, ordered the release of 45 prisoners incarcerated by the Fujairah Punitive and Correctional Establishments who are from different nationalities and are deserving of being pardoned.
The decision coincides with the advent of Eid Al Adha.
Sheikh Hamad’s gesture reflects his keenness to give prisoners a second chance and make their families happy.
Major General Mohammed Ahmed bin Ghanim Al Kaabi, Commander-in-Chief of the Fujairah Police, thanked Sheikh Hamad for this gesture, hoping that it will enable the released prisoners to start new lives, contribute to their community, and show good behaviour.
