The UAE is heading into Ramadan with a major act of clemency.
President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has ordered the release of 1,440 inmates from correctional institutions across the country ahead of the holy month.
And that’s not all. He will also cover the financial obligations linked to their sentences, removing an extra burden as they prepare to return home.
A Fresh Start Before Ramadan
The move gives hundreds of inmates a second chance just as Ramadan begins — a time rooted in forgiveness, reflection, and new beginnings.
By clearing their dues, the initiative helps ensure their release process is smooth and immediate, without lingering financial barriers holding them back.
Relief for Families
This decision doesn’t just impact the inmates. It brings relief to families who have been waiting for this moment.
Ramadan is traditionally a time for togetherness, and this gesture allows many households across the UAE to reunite during one of the most important months of the year.
A Message of Compassion
The pardon reflects the leadership’s focus on compassion and social stability. It’s about giving people the opportunity to reset, rebuild, and reintegrate into society.
As the country prepares for Ramadan, this initiative sets the tone: mercy, unity, and a chance to start again.
