The release ceremony took place simultaneously in 11 provinces of the country in the presence of entities from the Penitentiary Service, public prosecutors and judicial magistrates.

The Presidential Decree explains that citizens are being released due to "good behaviour demonstrated and the absence of social danger".

The pardon that takes into account that the proclamation of National Independence constitutes one of the most important historical milestones for the country, given that, through this act, there were officially laid the foundations for the development of a people who had been under colonial oppression for several centuries.
