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.
