Royal pardon for 44 Lankans in UAE prisons
View(s):Forty-four Sri Lankans who were in different prisons across the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have been pardoned by a royal order, the Foreign Ministry said yesterday.
They were expected to be released over the weekend and repatriated to Sri Lanka at the expense of the UAE Government in due course.
The UAE Foreign Ministry formally conveyed to the Embassy of Sri Lanka in Abu Dhabi that these Sri Lankan prisoners received pardon by royal order on the occasion of the 52nd National Day of the UAE, which fell on December 2, the statement said.
The pardoning of the Sri Lankan prisoners comes in the wake of President Ranil Wickremesinghe’s recent visit to the UAE to attend the COP 28 climate summit, and in the context of the strong bilateral relations between Sri Lanka and the UAE, it added.
