Karachi :The Sindh government has announced a remission program for prisoners across the province in celebration of Eid-ul-Azha. This humanitarian gesture aims to mark the sacred festival by offering relief and goodwill to inmates.
According to an official statement, eligible prisoners will receive sentence reductions as part of the Eid festivities, reflecting the government’s commitment to mercy and rehabilitation. The remission includes a review of cases with the aim to ease the burden on correctional facilities and provide deserving inmates with an opportunity for early release.
The provincial authorities emphasized that the remission will be granted following strict legal procedures, ensuring only qualified prisoners benefit from the initiative.
This step aligns with a broader tradition in Pakistan and many Muslim-majority countries, where pardons and remissions are customary during major religious celebrations, promoting forgiveness and social harmony.
The Sindh government encouraged families of inmates to stay hopeful and welcomed the move as a positive step toward prison reform and humanitarian relief.
Further details on the remission process and eligibility criteria will be made available through official channels in the coming days.
