SAADA, March 02 (YPA) – The Attorney General, Judge Muhammad Al-Dailami, ordered the release of 248 prisoners from the prisons in Saada province on Thursday.

The Attorney General said in a statement that these directives came during his field trip, last Tuesday, to inspect the conditions of inmates and detainees in the Central Reformatory and Remand Prison and the Criminal Investigation Detention in Saada.

Judge Al-Dailami indicated that the prisoners’ grievances were heard, and those who deserve conditional release were granted it after three-quarters of the period had passed, as well as directing the deportation of 35 prisoners of African nationalities to their countries.

He emphasized that field visits to prisons come within the framework of the Public Prosecution’s plan and in implementation of the directives of the Leader of the Revolution and the President of the Supreme Political Council to help prisoners before the holy month of Ramadan.
