FUJAIRAH -- H.H. Sheikh Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Fujairah, has ordered the release of 81 prisoners of different nationalities, who have demonstrated good conduct during their terms of imprisonment in punitive and corrective institutions in the emirate, on the occasion of the Holy Month of Ramadan and as part of the 'Year of Zayed 2018'.

The move comes as part of H.H. Sheikh Hamad's keenness to give the pardoned inmates an opportunity to start a new life, reintegrate into society, and ease the hardships of their families.

Major General Mohammed Ahmed bin Ghanim Al Ka'bi, Commander-in-chief of Al Fujairah Police, extended his sincere appreciation to H.H. Sheikh Hamad for the noble gesture, which he wishes would encourage the released prisoners to open up a fresh chapter of integrity and giving in their lives.
