President of the United Arab Emirates Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan on Sunday graciously pardoned 25 Bangladeshi citizens who were previously convicted in the UAE, said a press release of the UAE embassy in Dhaka.
‎The pardon was granted following a request from Bangladesh, seeking clemency for Bangladeshi nationals arrested in UAE in connection with the events surrounding the July 2024 and subsequently sentenced by UAE courts. All 25 individuals have been pardoned and returned to Bangladesh.
‎The expatriate Bangladeshis were detained at different times in the UAE during the July 2024 uprising in Bangladesh. 
‎This humanitarian gesture reflects the UAE leadership’s commitment to compassion, tolerance, and justice, as well as the deep-rooted, brotherly relations between the United Arab Emirates and the People’s Republic of Bangladesh.
‎Earlier, President had also pardoned Bangladeshi expatriates in several times who were serving sentences for staging a rare protest in the UAE, underscoring the UAE’s humanitarian approach. This act of clemency once again reflects the generosity of  Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
