President Ouattara Grants Clemency to 2,000 Prisoners in Côte d’Ivoire

Ivorian President Alassane Ouattara announced the pardon of 2,000 prisoners convicted of minor offenses in his end-of-year address, signaling a shift in the country’s approach to prison policy.

The clemency initiative, aimed at promoting social reintegration, will enable beneficiaries to reunite with their families. A complete list of those pardoned will be published soon.

However, the measure excludes individuals involved in serious offenses or ongoing legal cases, including high-profile figures.

The announcement reflects the administration’s commitment to fostering reconciliation and addressing challenges within the justice system.
