Nghe An: 30 prisoners granted amnesty on the occasion of National Day, September 2nd.

The ceremony was attended by representatives from the Criminal Enforcement Agency of the Provincial Police, the People's Procuracy, and the People's Court of Nghe An province.

In addition, prisoners must fulfill all related civil obligations such as civil compensation and court fees.

Speaking at the ceremony, Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Xuan Tra, Deputy Superintendent of the Nghe An Provincial Police Detention Center, said that this amnesty took place at a special time – the 80th anniversary of the National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. This is not only a legally significant event, but also a vivid testament to the humane and lenient policies of the Party and State, always creating conditions for those who have made mistakes to have the opportunity to rebuild their lives and reintegrate into the community.

In strict compliance with the President's directives and the guidance of the Central Clemency Advisory Council, the Nghe An Provincial Police Department issued a specific plan, directing its subordinate units to review and approve dossiers with caution, thoroughness, objectivity, and in accordance with the law. The Provincial Police Clemency Steering Committee meticulously examined and evaluated each case, ensuring transparency and fairness throughout the entire process.

The leaders of the detention center expressed their hope that, after being granted amnesty, the inmates would continue to strive for self-improvement, live useful lives, utilize the knowledge and skills acquired during their rehabilitation, contribute to building prosperous and happy families, and make positive contributions to the development of the local community.

Previously, in order to help inmates prepare for reintegration into society after being granted amnesty, the Nghe An Provincial Police Detention Center organized many counseling classes on law, life skills, career guidance, etc. Through these classes, they were equipped with knowledge, a positive mindset, and clear direction for life after returning to their localities.

Also on the morning of September 1st, Prison No. 3, under the Department of Prison Management, Compulsory Education Facilities and Juvenile Detention Centers - Ministry of Public Security, held a ceremony to announce the President's amnesty decision for 127 inmates.

These are inmates who have made significant efforts, shown genuine remorse and repentance, actively participated in learning and labor during their rehabilitation, and fully meet the conditions and criteria for early release under the law.

The prisoners granted amnesty in this round received a Presidential Amnesty Decision, a citizen identification card, and a Mobiphone SIM card.

Immediately after the announcement ceremony, officers at Prison No. 3 carried out the necessary procedures for those granted amnesty according to regulations. For those granted amnesty who did not have family to pick them up and for the elderly, the unit arranged transportation to take them back to their places of residence.
