Imam Khamenei Grants Clemency to Prisoners on Eid
Local Editor
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei has granted pardon and clemency to a number of Iranian prisoners on the occasion of Muslim's feast, Eid al-Fitr.
Imam Khamenei on Tuesday agreed to a request by Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Sadeq Amoli Larijani to pardon the prisoners or commute their remaining jail terms and financial penalties.
Article 110 of the Constitution grants the Supreme Leader the right to pardon or reduce the sentences of convicts upon a recommendation from the head of the Judiciary.
On August 15, Tehran Prosecutor General Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi announced that Imam Khamenei had ordered the early release or a reduction in the prison sentences of 130 prisoners convicted of security-related crimes who had repented for their crimes.
Ramadan is the ninth month on the Islamic calendar when Muslims fast from dawn to dusk and refrain from eating, drinking, smoking, and indulging in anything that is in excess or ill-natured.
Muslims believe Ramadan to be an auspicious month for the revelations of God to humankind, given the belief that it was in Ramadan when the first verses of the Holy Qur'an were revealed to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
