Nearly 800 prisoners in northern Lai Chau, central Phu Yen and southern Tay Ninh provinces have been granted clemency on the occasion of the National Day (September 2).
Among them, 253 were in Phu Yen, 532 Tay Ninh and 13 others in Lai Chau.
Also on this occasion, clemency has been given to 184 inmates in Hanoi .
The clemency not only reflects the Government's leniency policy but also encourages prisoners to reform themselves so that they could return to society sooner, said a prison warder in Hanoi.-VNA
