On September 1, at Prison A2 under the Department of Police Management of Prisons and Compulsory Education Facilities, the Ministry of Public Security's reformatory School (located in Dien Lam Commune, Khanh Hoa Province) held a ceremony to announce the President's special pardon decision for 211 people granted amnesty.
Representatives of the leaders of the People's Procuracy of Khanh Hoa province, leaders of the People's Committee of Dien Lam commune and leaders of A2 Prison presented amnesty certificates, identification cards and gave phone SIM cards to those who were released from prison on the occasion of National Day 2.9.
According to Lieutenant Colonel Ha Duy Chinh - Deputy Warden of A2 Prison, over the past 80 years, our country has had nearly 40 early released prison amnesty sessions for more than 100,000 people sentenced to prison.
On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the President issued a decision to grant amnesty to more than 13,000 people. Of which, A2 Prison has 211 people granted amnesty.
Previously, the approval of the amnesty request was carried out strictly and cautiously, ensuring publicity, transparency, objectivity, and democracy.
Among the 211 cases granted amnesty this time are the former Director of the Department of Construction of Khanh Hoa province (old) and Mr. Do Hong Hai (former Director of the old Nam Khanh Hoa Irrigation Works Exploitation Company Limited).
At Song Cai Prison (located in Bac Ai Tay Commune, Khanh Hoa Province) under the Department of Police for the Management of Prisons, Compulsory Education Facilities, and Preschools (C10), the Ministry of Public Security has announced the President's decision to pardon in 2025 (phase 2) for 187 prisoners serving prison sentences at the unit.
Major General Pham Van Than - Deputy Director of Department C10, Ministry of Public Security, and representatives of leaders of departments, branches, and localities presented amnesty certificates, identification cards, and phone SIM cards to prisoners who were granted amnesty.
According to Major General Pham Van Than, inheriting and promoting the good and humane traditions of the Vietnamese people, in recent years, the Party and State have repeatedly granted early released prisoners to return to their families and society soon.
Through monitoring and reporting from localities, most of the people who have been granted amnesty and returned have quickly integrated into the community and stabilized their lives. The rate of recidivism and law violations is very low.
The prisoners who are granted amnesty this time need to strive, be brave, overcome difficulties to truly become honest people, stabilize their lives and build a prosperous and happy family.
