Absher app by the Saudi Ministry of Interior launched one of its most innovative services called Furijat in 2019.
The Fujirat initiative was launched in collaboration with the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development of Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Authority for Data and Artificial Intelligence, and the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority (SAMA).
This initiative aims to provide KSA’s citizens and ex-pats with a safe and secure way to donate money to prisoners in Saudi jails.
These are prisoners convicted for non-criminal financial cases. With this initiative, you can help them pay their debt to society and be free.
However, Absher doesn’t handle the payments. You can make the payments through SADAD. Furijat service allows users to search for prisoners from specific nationalities, regions, gender, etc., with non-criminal financial cases.
