An estimated 500 beneficiaries from the Prince Mohammed Bin Naif Counseling and Care Center and their families have gone on Haj this year with support from the center’s annual pilgrim campaign, said Interior Ministry spokesman Maj. Gen. Mansour Al-Turki.

Other center inmates who have not taken part in the center’s programs will spend the rest of the Eid Al-Adha holiday with their families and then return back to the center.

This is the fourth campaign launched by the center. The program is aimed at reconnecting members with their parents and correcting extremist thought among the center’s inmates, in addition to raising awareness about legal and religious perspectives.

The camp also offers many religious awareness lectures to complement the center’s programs and provides advice to inmates and their loved ones.
