9 Afghan inmates released from Oman's jail to join their families

Kabul, May 1 (UNI) A total of nine Afghan nationals who were set free from prison in the Sultanate of Oman recently would soon reunite with their families in Afghanistan, reported the state-run Bakhtar news agency on Thursday.
Six out of the nine former detainees have already returned to their homeland and the remaining three are on the way back to their home country, the state-owned media outlet added without providing more details.
Welcoming the step as a sign of good gesture, the state-run media outlet hoped for further expanding brotherly relations between the Afghan interim government and the Arabian state.
Hundreds of Afghan nationals have already been released from jails in Pakistan and Iran and returned to their homeland over the past months.
