It is not yet known if the British DJ, Grooverider, was one of the pardoned prisoners.

The DJ, who was sentenced to four years in prison after he was caught at Dubai International Airport with a small amount of cannabis, was hoping to be released after it was revealed his name was on a list of possible pardons to be dealt with during Ramadan.


Pardons during the holy month are granted on humanitarian reasons.

Other factors taken into consideration include the nature of the crime, the length of sentence, good behaviour and how much of the jail term has been served.

Last year Sheikh Khalifa granted an executive pardon to 808 prisoners and settled prisoners’ debts worth $930,000.
update 9/4
Grooverider released from prison

Grooverider co-presented a drum and bass show on Radio 1
Radio 1 DJ Grooverider has been released from prison in Dubai after serving 10 months for possessing drugs.
The DJ, whose real name is Raymond Bingham, was in the middle of a four-year sentence.
But he has been let out early after being pardoned by the Dubai Royal Family. He has flown back to the UK to spend time with family and friends.
The DJ was originally arrested on 23 November 2007 after being caught with 2.16 grams of cannabis at the airport.
At the time Bingham said the drugs were in the pocket of a pair of trousers and he had forgotten about them. He was handed a four year sentence in February.
Grooverider co-presented a weekend drum & bass show on the station.

In WR's defense, I don't think this kind of info deserves to be kept on the dl, unless there are some nasty repercussions that could affect those involved.

Re: GROOVERIDER ON HIS WAY HOME FROM DUBAI

apparently they wanted to keep it DL because he was still in Dubai and they could change their minds and they don't want a bunch of hype around it before he gets home but he's been released officially now i guess so it's ok.
