JEDDAH: Mohammed bin Naif Counseling and Care Center (MNCC) said it graduated 154 beneficiaries who underwent courses in counseling and a review of terrorist, deviant thought and extremist ideas in Riyadh and Jeddah.
The graduates now qualify to be integrated in society.
Spokesman for the Ministry of Interior Maj. Gen. Mansour Al-Turki announced the graduation of the 39th batch of beneficiaries from MNCC in Riyadh and of the 14th in Jeddah, the latter counting 39 beneficiaries.
These people graduated after it became obvious that they had benefited from the legal, social, psychological and historical programs, and the scientific, professional and sports courses, and the diverse seminars and lectures they followed during their stay at the MNCC. Al-Turki said that the graduates will follow an after-care program, which aims to achieve social stability.
On April 6, the MNCC said 97 beneficiaries graduated from its Riyadh and Jeddah centers.
MNCC is one of the prominent institutions that fight against deviant thought. It began its activities in 2006, drawing individuals who hold extreme views and working to reintegrate them in society and correct their concepts by taking advantage of the various programs the center offers.
MNCC employs to that end experts, counselors, psychologists, social workers, as well as clerics and Sharia specialists.
By enrolling in the MNCC, an individual shifts from prisoner to beneficiary, thus enjoying many freedoms, including holidays on religious, seasonal and national occasions, during which they can visit and spend time with loved ones, or are allowed to visit families when there are special family events as well as receive their families on private visits to the MNCC.
A beneficiary spends on average three months at the MNCC, during which he follows a number of programs and scientific training, in addition to various other courses.
Beneficiaries spend 15 hours a week in the Shariah program, six hours in the social program, five hours in the psychological program, five hours in the history program, five hours in the fine arts program and 12 hours in the sports program.
