Doha: HH the Amir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani issued an Amiri gesture pardoning a number of prisoners, on the occasion of the Holy Month of Ramadan.

According to Qatar News Agency, the pardon reflects the Amir's commitment to mercy and compassion during this significant period in the Islamic calendar. The decision is part of an annual tradition where selected prisoners are released or have their sentences reduced, providing them an opportunity to reintegrate into society.
