Iran's Supreme Leader Grants Clemency to Thousands of Prisoners
Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Mojtaba Khamenei approved a proposal to pardon or commute group of Iranian convicts sentenced by various courts in the country.
On the occasion of the birth anniversary of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) and Imam Jafar Sadiq (AS), Iran’s Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei requested pardons, sentence reductions, and sentence commutations for 2,577 convicts.In response, Ayatollah Khamenei delegated the decision on the matter to Mohseni-Ejei himself.Therefore, the Judiciary chief, after the necessary reviews, ordered the implementation of pardons, sentence reductions, and sentence commutations for these convicts.
Article 110 of Iran’s Constitution grants the Leader the right to pardon or reduce the sentences of inmates upon a recommendation from the head of the Judiciary.The clemency, however, does not apply to all types of prisoners, including those who have been sentenced for their role in armed struggle against the country, armed or organized drug trafficking, rape, armed robbery, arms smuggling, abduction, bribery and embezzlement.
