Humanitarian Grounds: 7,012 prisoners across the nation released

The State Administration Council of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar pardoned 7,012 prisoners who were serving their sentences in various prisons/jails across the nation under Sub-section (1) of Section 401 of the Code of Criminal Procedures, on humanitarian grounds and understanding the benevolence of the state in honour of the 75th Anniversary Diamond Jubilee Independence Day on Wednesday.
They are pardoned on the condition that “if they commit another offence, they will continue to serve the remaining sentences”. Although the State sentenced to prisoners according to their committed crimes in prisons and jails, the social, health and other human rights that they should enjoy in accord with the norms, are carried out fully. So they are happy and healthy when they are released and their parents and relatives welcomed them with joyfulness.
