UAE Attorney General hails President's directives to release 969 prisoners

Salem Saeed Kubaish, UAE Attorney General, has said that President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan's order to release 969 prisoners serving terms in various prisons on the occasion of the Holy Month of Ramadan and pay off their liabilities and debts offered the released prisoners a good opportunity to reintegrate into the social fabric as good, law-abiding citizens so as to contribute positively to the process of nation building and development.

''The pardon inculcates positive motives in the hearts and minds of the pardoned prisoners, spurring them to set their conduct right and follow the right path. It is a recipe of optimism about the future and a catalyst for those still behind bars to follow suit to obtain that privilege in future,'' the Attorney General stated.

Kubaish offered sincere greetings to President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and Their Highnesses Members of the Supreme Council and Rulers of the Emirates, the UAE people and the Arab and Islamic Nations, on the occasion of the advent of Holy Ramadan.
