HARARE, Zimbabwe — Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa granted clemency to more than 4,000 prisoners, including some who were on death row, in an independence day amnesty on Thursday.
The presidential amnesty, the second in less than a year, benefits female, older and juvenile inmates, the terminally ill and some who were originally sentenced to death. All female prisoners who had served at least a third of their sentence by independence day are being freed, as are juvenile inmates who have served the same period.
All death row prisoners who have been in jail for at least 10 years had their sentences commuted to life in prison under the amnesty.
