ISLAMABAD (Web Desk) Ahead of Pakistan Day and Eid ul Fitr, President Asif Ali Zardari has announced a special 180-day remission in sentences for certain prisoners, exercising his powers under Article 45 of the Constitution.
The remission will apply to male prisoners aged 65 and above and to female prisoners aged 60 and above who have served at least one-third of their sentence.
It also extends to women in prison with children and juvenile offenders under 18 who meet the same criteria.
However, the remission will not apply to those convicted of serious crimes such as murder, espionage, anti-state activities, rape, theft, robbery, kidnapping, terrorism, financial crimes, or any offenses causing losses to the national treasury.
