Badung, Bali (ANTARA) - A total of 351 inmates, including foreign convicts, at the Kerobokan correctional facility in Badung District, Bali Province, were granted pardons on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr.

They received clemency along with certificates of short Islamic study called Santri Kilat in the yard of the correctional facility's mosque in Badung District on Wednesday.

They were among the 351 inmates whose names were proposed to receive clemency, while a decision to grant pardon to the remaining three inmates was yet awaited, Chief of the Kerobokan Correctional Facility Tony Nainggolan noted.
