President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has ordered the release of 1,295 inmates from prisons across the UAE in celebration of the Holy Month of Ramadan.

Sheikh Mohamed has also committed to covering any financial obligations tied to the prisoners’ sentences, providing them with a fresh start as they reintegrate into society.

This initiative aims to alleviate the hardships faced by the families of the released individuals and foster stability within their homes and the wider community.

It also seeks to bring joy to their loved ones during this special time, especially as Ramadan approaches on March 1.

Last year, in a similar gesture of compassion, the President ordered the release of 735 prisoners just ahead of Ramadan.
