On the 73rd anniversary of the Revolution of the King and the People, King Mohammed VI has granted pardon to 935 individuals, sentenced by the different Moroccan courts, the Justice Ministry said in a statement.
The Ministry of Justice unveiled the list of the beneficiaries of the royal pardon, who are either detained or serving a suspended sentence.
The list of the beneficiaries of the royal pardon also includes inmates who were granted pardon over their remaining jail terms, convicts who had their prison terms reduced, and prisoners who saw their sentences commuted from life imprisonment to fixed jail terms.
Some convicts benefited from pardon over their imprisonment terms but their fines were maintained. Other convicts saw their fines canceled, while others benefited from both a pardon over their prison terms and fines.
The King usually grants free pardon to inmates and convicts on religious and national holidays.
