Prisoners given clemency on Reunification Day
A number of localities
nationwide have granted an amnesty for prisoners on the occasion of
the 38th anniversary of Liberation of Southern Vietnam and National
Reunification Day (April 30).
Channel 7 Prison in southern Kien
Giang province granted an amnesty for 300 prisoners, of whom 55 were
released early thanks to their redemption progress.
The released prisoners were also provided with clothes and household
utensils to help them reintegrate into the community.
On this occasion, 465 prisoners in the southern province of Tay
Ninh were also granted clemency, of whom 91 were freed ahead of their
release date.
The clemency not only reflects the
Government’s leniency policy, but also encourages prisoners to reform
themselves so that they can return to society sooner. -VNA
