Ayatollah Khamenei pardons ۱,۰۸۶ Iranian prisoners

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei pardoned or commuted prison terms of 1,086 Iranian prisoners sentenced by various courts in the Islamic Republic.

Hawzah News Agency (Tehran, Iran) - The pardon was granted at the request of the country's Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Sadeq Amoli Larijani on the occasion of the birth anniversaries of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and Imam Jafar Sadiq (a.s.), the sixth Imam of Shiite Muslims.

 

The 17th day of the month of Rabi al-Awwal in the lunar Hijri calendar marks the birth anniversaries of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and Imam Jafar Sadiq (a.s.). This year it falls on Sunday, November 25.

 

 

Article 110 of the Constitution grants the Leader the right to pardon or reduce the sentences of convicts upon a recommendation from the head of the Judiciary.

The clemency, however, does not apply to certain types of convicts, including those who have been sentenced for their role in the armed struggle against the country, armed or organized drug trafficking, armed robbery, arms smuggling, abduction, bribery, and embezzlement.
