Sanaa: The joint committee from the Presidency and the Public Prosecution inspected today the conditions of prisoners and detainees in police stations under the Southwest Prosecution of the Capital Secretariat, aiming to release as many as possible on the occasion of the anniversary of the noble Prophet's birth for the year 1448 AH.

The committee engaged in discussions with officials from the police stations of Sohail, Haddah Area, Al-Nasr, and Al-Balili concerning deposit and release movements, the progress of arrest procedures, file preparation, and referral to the prosecution, while also reviewing records related to prisoners.
The committee heard from prisoners about the time spent in detention pending investigation and those referred for trial, as well as detainees held pending inquiries.
