United Arab Emirates’ President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan ordered on Tuesday a pardon for the Bangladeshi nationals involved in last month’s protests and disturbances across several emirates.

The decision includes cancelling the sentences of those convicted and arranging for their deportation, reported the UAE state news agency (WAM).

In line with the president’s directive, UAE Attorney-General Dr. Hamad Al Shamsi issued an order to halt the implementation of the sentences and kick off deportation procedures.

The Attorney General called on all residents of the UAE to respect the country’s laws, stressing that the right to express opinions is protected by the state and its legal framework.

The state provides lawful means for expressing views, ensuring this right does not turn into actions that could harm the interests of the nation and its people, he added.
