Bahrain's King Hamad bin Isa al-Khalifa pardoned 457 prisoners Wednesday night to mark his 25th anniversary as the nation's ruler.
Bahrain news agency said: “The royal pardon reflects HM the King’s dedication to fostering social cohesion and upholding the principles of justice and the rule of law. It also aims to balance legal accountability with the humanitarian and social circumstances of the inmates, providing them with an opportunity to reintegrate into society. This approach aligns with Bahrain’s commitment to human rights and its prominent standing within the region.”
In April, King Hamad pardoned 1,584 prisoners, including prisoners convicted of triggering chaos.

The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) signed on Tuesday a cooperation agreement with Kosovo to aid orphans in the country.

Assistant Supervisor General of Operations and Programs at KSrelief Ahmed Al Baiz and head of the Islamic Community of Kosovo Sheikh Naim Ternava signed the agreement.

The project aims to alleviate the living expenses of orphans by providing monthly assistance, thereby helping with essential needs such as food, shelter, healthcare, and education.

Furthermore, as part of the agreement, recreational outings will be arranged for orphans. The project targets 29 municipalities in Kosovo, directly benefiting 500 children.

This initiative is part of the efforts made by Saudi Arabia, represented by KSrelief, to offer humanitarian and relief aid to orphans in needy countries.
