UAE orders release for 900+ Indian prisoners ahead of National Day

In a move that underscores the deep-rooted brotherhood between the two nations, the United Arab Emirates has officially handed over a list of more than 900 Indian prisoners to the Indian Embassy in Abu Dhabi. This release is part of a grand humanitarian pardon ordered by His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE.

The decision originally coincided with the UAE’s 54th Eid Al Etihad (National Day) celebrations, a time when the nation reflects on unity and forgiveness. By including a significant number of Indian nationals in the wider release of nearly 3,000 inmates, the UAE has sent a powerful message of goodwill to India and its global diaspora.
