Royal pardon for 89 inmates

Manama, Dec. 14 (BNA): His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa issued a royal decree pardoning 89 inmates, sentenced in different cases, after serving part of their verdicts. The royal pardon is on the occasion of the kingdom’s celebration of its national days on December 16 and 17 marking the anniversary of the establishment of the modern state of Bahrain as an Arab and Muslim country in 1783 by its founder Ahmed Al-Fateh, the 47th Anniversary of its accession to the UN as a full member and the 19th Anniversary of HM the King’s Accession to the Throne. It reflects HM the King’s keenness on the pardoned inmate’s reintegration in the community and participation in the kingdom’s development process.
