Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, has ordered the release of 210 prisoners, on the advent of the holy month of Ramadan.

The pardon covers inmates in penal and correctional institutions in RAK who have so far served different jail terms. Released expatriate prisoners will be deported.

Sheikh Saud's gesture aims to give freed prisoners another chance to start a new life and ease the suffering of their families as well.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Crown Prince of Ras Al Khaimah and Chairman of the RAK Judicial Council, instructed the competent authorities to implement the orders of the RAK Ruler in coordination with the General Headquarters of RAK Police.

Counsellor Hassan Saeed Muhaimmed, Public Prosecutor of RAK, said the kind gesture of the RAK ruler would grant the released prisoners an opportunity to become rehabilitated into the community.
