Foundation pays for prisoners to fly home



The Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan Foundation will cover the travel costs for 121 prisoners who, although ready to be deported after completing their prison sentences, are unable to pay for their flight tickets home. The offer of financial aid coincides with Eid Al Adha, the state news agency Wam reported. The aid was made available thanks to a collaboration between the Foundation and the Ministry of Interior. The prisoners in question thanked the Foundation for the assistance in speeding up their return to their home countries.
