500 Prisoners Freed
PRESIDENT Sata has pardoned 500 prisoners serving sentences for various offences to mark the commemoration of Zambia’s 49 years of independence.
According to a 2013 Remission of Sentences Order published in Government Gazette number 6241 dated October 22, 2013, President Sata has ordered that the 500 prisoners be released from prison immediately.
“It is hereby notified for public information that His Excellency the President has, in exercise of the powers vested in him by Article 59 (d) of the Constitution of Zambia, ordered that the said prisoners in schedule, hereto, be released from prison forthwith,” the Government Gazette reads in part.
The pardoned prisoners are from various prisons in all the 10 provinces of the country

Agony is identifying a dangerous criminal in your area only for him to be realised on Independence day and knowing that he even said I will be back .

To all released prisoners,no criminal activities once again.you can be good and productive again in society.My nephew was released 2 years ago,he has built a big house and a beautiful car,you can also do it,stay within the law guys.

we should not be negative at seen every effort that is worth appreciation. the people have suffered enough some not even for the crimes that they commited but those that they did not if “God were to look for errors in us who can stand” lets learn to forgive others for us too ,to be forgiven
