At least 49 prisoners have been pardoned by President Dr Lazarus Chakwera as part of this year’s Easter Holliday celebrations, the Ministry of Homeland Security declares.
Among other things, the pardoned prisoners are those who have served half of their sentences, the chronically ill, the elderly, and female convicts who were accompanied by their children to prison.
President Chakwera has also reduced the sentences of all other prisoners by 6 months as one way to decongest the prison.
