In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
His Eminence Ayatullah Golpaygani- may his blessings last:
After offering my sincere greetings I would like to inform you that I have received your telegram «1» reflecting Your Eminence's concern regarding the unfortunate incident that took place in the university on Thursday, Esfand 14,1359 AHS. «2» I received numerous telephone calls following this criminal act of the deviated elements. I assure you and this noble nation that severe action will, God willing, be taken against such opposition toward Islam. I have instructed the Judiciary to follow up the case and to identify the criminals and the instigators and to put them on trial and to send me information regarding the outcome so that a verdict based upon Islamic laws can be issued in the case. All the deviated political and non-political elements and groups should know that I will confront them according to the dictates of the laws of Islam and as per the demands of my Islamic duty and I will put an end to their anti-Islamic mischief-mongering. I request for goodwill prayers from Your Eminence. And I request Your Eminence to invite the nation to peace.
May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
