We've seen calls from
@WHO,
@UNHumanRights,
@ACHPR & global civil society to release prisoners in order to reduce overcrowding & curb the spread of
#COVID19 in
#prisons. How have countries responded?
#Chile will pardon around 1,300 prisoners, such as prisoners over 75 years old, mothers of children under two years old and pregnant women, who will be able to serve the rest of their sentences at home
