Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, ruler of Sharjah, made the decision to free 439 inmates from Sharjah's Punitive and Correctional Institution for Eid Al Adha. This release was based on evidence of the prisoners' good behavior and their eligibility for pardons[2][3].

In total, over 3,900 prisoners had their liberty restored across the UAE for Eid Al Adha[4].
