Over 1,000 prisoners get to go home this Raya, says Anwar


PUTRAJAYA: In conjunction with Hari Raya Aidilfitri, the Prisons Department will implement the Ihsan Madani Prisoners' Release on Licence (OBB) programme (Awaited Return), says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The Prime Minister said this would give Muslim prisoners an opportunity to celebrate Aidilfitri with their beloved families and allow non-Muslim inmates to strengthen family ties.
