Hawzah News Agency-Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, in a meeting with the Iranian judiciary chief and officials, described the cleanness and continuous efforts for satisfying people as the important task and main objective of the judiciary branch.
Referring to the advent of International Quds Day (marked on the last Friday of the holy fasting month of Ramadan in solidarity with Palestinians), Ayatollah Khamenei said: “Praise be to Allah, cries in unison in support of the oppressed people of Palestine will reverberate once more across Iran and the Muslim world on Friday and the Islamic Ummah will abide by the important obligation of defending the oppressed.”
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution said: “Spiteful propaganda by foreign media and onslaught on the judiciary have been stepped up at the present time, and the reason for this could be the revolutionary, fervent and categorical stances [adopted] by the head of the judiciary and top officials of this branch of power.”
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution highlighted the necessity of the judiciary’s more active follow-up of international legal issues, saying: “Pursuing the rights denied to the Iranian nation due to sanctions must top the agenda of the judiciary.”
Ayatollah Khamenei pointed to the US tribunals’ verdict for dipping into the Iranian nation’s assets under empty pretexts and groundless accusations, saying: “Denial of the Iranian nation’s rights due to the sanctions is a violation that must be followed up by the judiciary at international level.”
“Following up on the rights of thousands of victims of terrorism in Iran”, “Filing lawsuits against governments that overtly and covertly support the killers of these victims” and “providing legal defense to oppressed Muslim figures across the globe” were among cases recommended by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution to the judiciary officials.
Ayatollah Khamenei said reviving Islamic human rights across the world was another task assigned to the judiciary, adding: “The human rights claimed by the West has been formulated on a wrong basis and it is necessary that Islamic human rights be elucidated and pursued within the world public opinion and legal bodies on solid and logical bases.”
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution said the official announcement of the “United Nations’ is turning a blind eye to the ongoing crimes and child killings in Yemen in exchange for receiving money from some countries” was a cause of disgrace for humanity, adding: “This scandal goes against genuine human rights and we have to do legal and juridical work on this at international levels.”
Summing up his remarks, Ayatollah Khamenei noted: “The judiciary must be one hundred percent revolutionary and act in a revolutionary manner.”
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution said: “Of course, revolutionarism – despite certain views and propaganda – is not radicalism. Rather, revolutionarism means ‘acting justly, wisely, precisely, conscientiously, fairly, firmly and without standing on ceremonies’.”
End.
