Kuwait pardoned 539 inmates under Amiri Decree No. 21 of 2026/Representative Image
In a move aimed at giving hundreds a second chance, Kuwait has pardoned 539 individuals following directives from His Highness the Amir, Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.
The decision was issued under Amiri Decree No. (21) of 2026 and allows some inmates to be released immediately, while others will see their sentences reduced.
The pardon reflects an effort to support rehabilitation and reintegration into society. Authorities said the objective goes beyond shortening prison terms. It is designed to help those affected rebuild their lives, reconnect with their families and commit to lawful conduct.
The process was overseen by the Special Security Affairs and Correctional Institutions Sector, which coordinated with relevant government bodies to complete the necessary legal and administrative procedures. Officials ensured that those eligible for immediate release were freed without delay and that sentence reductions were implemented promptly.
Authorities described the operation as the result of close cooperation between different agencies. They emphasised that the initiative demonstrates the state’s ability to act efficiently when carrying out humanitarian and corrective measures.
The pardon is intended to offer individuals and their families an opportunity to turn a new page, strengthen social stability and contribute positively to the wider community.
