Leader grants pardons, sentence reductions to more than 2,000 convicts
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has agreed to pardon, reduce, and commute the sentences of more than 2,000 convicts, following a request by the head of Iran’s judiciary.
On Tuesday, Ayatollah Khamenei approved the proposal submitted by Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei to grant clemency to 2,108 individuals convicted by general and revolutionary courts, the Armed Forces Judicial Organization, and government penal institutions.
The request was made in a letter addressed to the Leader on the occasion of the Shabaniyeh religious holidays and the 47th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution.
Such measures are traditionally announced on major religious and national occasions, during which the head of the judiciary requests the Leader’s approval for pardons or sentence reductions for eligible inmates in accordance with the law.
