Did the King overrule the advise or follow it? One may never know the truth. The only people who opposed the release are the ones who put them there in the first place. Many political parties and some NGOs asked for their immediate release.\u00a0 Qutie unfortunate for the community that the Advisory Board, Home Ministry, PM, and the King did not take that into consideration.<\/p>\n<p>The community will be upset with this decision.
