91 inmates from Somalia’s Mogadishu Central prisons were released on Thursday June 29 thanks to a presidential pardon. President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed Farmaajo ordered the release of the ex-convicts as part of activities marking the country’s independence day celebration which falls on July 1. The president in May this year set up a 9-member commission to look into the state of prisons.
