Mansour bin Zayed sets up public prosecution department for community service
Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Presidential Affairs, has issued a Resolution calling for the setup of public prosecution department for community service related measures. Sheikh Mansour Al Nahyan's resolution comes in response to the requirements of Federal Law No. 07 of 2016, which amended some provisions of the UAE Penal Code and introduced community service punishments or fines for some misdemeanours, instead of imprisonment.
Yousuf Saeed Al Abri, Under-Secretary of the Abu Dhabi Judicial Department, ADJD, said "Sheikh Mansour’s resolution is in line with the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan to bring about an integrated corporate judicial system that meets the growing judicial and justice needs of the nation according to the best international practices and standards."
