Dubai: Emirati businessman Yaqoob Al Ali has recently pledged AED 100,000 against the release of indebted inmates at the Correctional and Punitive Institutions in Dubai.

Major General Dr Mohammad Al Murr, Director of the General Department of Human Rights at Dubai Police, received Mr Al Ali and commended his generous contribution that reflects the true meaning of social solidarity, helps them start afresh, improves their conditions, and solves their financial and social problems.

Maj. Gen. Al Murr said: “Dubai Police always cooperate with philanthropists and charities to help people in the UAE. We help prisoners and people facing problems on humanitarian grounds. The money can help settle prisoners’ financial dues and pay for their travel expenses after serving their jail terms.”
