Decree [Pardoning the prisoners]

[After extending greetings and congratulations for the commencement of the second decade of the victory of the glorious Islamic Revolution in Iran under the leadership of His Eminence, this is to note, thus:

Pursuant to the inclusion of Islamic favor and mercy regarding the convicts of the splinter groups and Your Eminence's grant of amnesty to most of them, those convicted by the Special Court for the Clergy and their families are also expecting for mercy and amnesty to be granted by the Islamic Republic. The announcement of your blessed opinion is highly sought.

In His Most Exalted Name

His Eminence Hujjat al-Islam Razini- may his graces last:

I approve of giving amnesty to all the prisoners convicted by the Special Court for the Clergy provided that they have incurred relative punishment substantiated by the court and that their freedom would not bring any harm to the Islamic society. «1»
