Families of detainees wait in hope that their loved ones will be amongst those released, as 594 detainees are released from U.S. and Iraqi run prisons around Iraq, including Abu Ghraib, at the main bus station in central Baghdad, Iraq Wednesday, June 7, 2006. The move has been seen as an apparent effort to appease anger in the Sunni Arab minority over allegations of random detentions and mistreatment of prisoners. A UN report last month calculated there were 28,700 detainees in Iraq. (AP Photo/Khalid Mohammed)

More than 500 Iraqi prisoners were released from several prisons in Iraq a day after Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said he would release 2,500 prisoners with no clear evidence against them or who were mistakenly detained, in a move to help reach 'national reconciliation'.
