His Highness Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah, has granted a pardon for 707 prisoners in anticipation of Ramadan. The humanitarian gesture imbues the principles of forgiveness and compassion so that prisoners can rebuild their lives and join their families during the sacred month.
The pardon, awarded to meticulously chosen prisoners on the basis of good behavior, is in line with Sharjah’s social rehabilitation efforts. The Sharjah Police and correctional authorities are coordinating the release process to facilitate the smooth reintegration of the inmates into society.
Relatives of the pardoned inmates have shown sincere appreciation for the act, pointing out the emotional and financial ease it brings. Most are convinced that this gesture of clemency gives a second chance to people so they can begin anew and make a positive impact in society.
Annually, UAE leaders grant pardons ahead of Ramadan, underscoring the country’s commitment to justice and mercy. The action is not just a gesture of human kindness but also a push for change for prisoners to reform and accept a brighter future.
