Judiciary must ensure people’s peace of mind: Leader
The Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei called on the country’s judiciary to act with discipline and principle when it comes to protecting the peace of mind of Iranians.
Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks in a meeting with a group of Iranian judiciary officials on Tuesday on the occasion of the anniversary of the June 28 terrorist attack, as well as Judiciary Week in Iran.
“The fact that some individuals get on people’s nerves using cyberspace or otherwise frighten them and disturb their psychological security is against the requirements for restoring public rights,” he added.
As such, the Leader urged the judiciary to enter the cases “with planning, discipline, and regularity”.
“There is also a small minority who exploit the situation and tarnish the image of the judiciary in the eyes of the people,” he said.
The Leader advised the officials to make every effort to further increase its popularity among the Iranian nation.
All members of the judiciary must make sure that corruption does not infiltrate the judiciary, he added, calling on the Iranian judiciary officials to combat corruption and prevent it from spreading into different areas.
“The Judiciary is one of the main pillars of the regime”, the Leader said, stressing that it is clear that “if the judiciary is disrupted, the whole Islamic system will be disturbed.”
Elsewhere in his remarks, Ayatollah Khamenei also stressed the need for securing legitimate freedom in society.
Iran’s judiciary chief Mohseni-Ejei, who was present at the meeting, for his part, presented a report regarding the activities of the judiciary.
On June 28, 1981, a powerful bomb blasted the headquarters of the Islamic Republican Party (IRP) in Tehran while the members were in a meeting. Iran’s Judiciary Week marks the martyrdom of then-Chief Justice Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti and his 72 colleagues in the terrorist bomb blast.
