In an emotional and heartwarming moment, a daughter was reunited with her father on his birthday at Dubai Central Jail after six long years of separation. This touching reunion was made possible by the Dubai Police, who organized a surprise celebration. The young woman had expressed her heartfelt desire to meet her father, who had been incarcerated due to financial issues. Brigadier Marwan Abdulkarim Jalfar, director of the General Department of Punitive and Correctional Establishments, shared that the daughter had recently arrived in the UAE and reached out to the police with her heartfelt request. Her father had left their home country in search of work six years ago and had not seen his family since, until this heartwarming birthday surprise.

The joyous moment was captured in a photo where father and daughter shared a heartfelt embrace. Another image showed them cutting a birthday cake together, with police officers joining in the celebration of this special day. Major Abdullah Ahli, acting director of the Dubai Central Jail, highlighted that the inmate had no prior knowledge of his daughter’s visit, making the surprise all the more special. The Dubai Police reiterated their commitment to facilitating such reunions, emphasizing the positive impact on inmates’ mental well-being and their preparation for future societal integration through rehabilitation, training, and employment opportunities.
