Of the pardoned prisoners, 147 receive a reduction of their terms and 37 are released early thanks to their redemption progress.
The prisoners have undergone an open and transparent approval process, said Colonel Nguyen Cong Dung, prison warder at Detention Centre No. 2, where 42 prisoners are granted shorter sentences and six are released.
The clemency not only reflects the Government’s leniency policy, but also encourages prisoners to reform themselves so that they can return to society sooner.
