Hawzah News Agency- The Islamic Republic of Iran's Police Force is vigilant in protecting the Iranian borders in order to fight against drug smuggling and foreign invasions; the issue of drug trafficking is not limited only to Iran and its borders, the whole international community must step in to fight this global concern," Ayatollah Alavi Boroujerdi said.

The senior seminary lecturer went on, "It is necessary that the international community realizes the impact of drug smuggling and its ongoing challenges,"

Addressing a group of Iranian policemen, the Ayatollah further added, "Your service will never be forgotten, for all the Iranians are grateful for all the sacrifices and endeavors you've done,"

Saying that the Holy Shia Imams (PBUT) prayed for border guards,  he added, "The Islamic Republic is not only protecting its citizens from drug abuse but is also giving service to all the other countries worldwide since it's seizing immense loads of drugs entering its borders," Hawzah reported.

Ayatollah Alavi Boroujerdi then remarked, " a criminal should be treated like a human being and we must keep in mind that even the wrongdoers are able to change. If one could manifest moralities in their character, then they could try and change someone else's' misbehaviors." 

Expressing that sincere actions are on a par with acts of worship, he stated, "The police force is the watchful eyes of the society, we must save drug addicts' life for if we become negligent of our behavior towards others, we will subsequently lose our influence on them,"
