Tehran, IRNA – President Ebrahim Raisi said in a meeting with leaders of monotheist faiths that Supreme Leader’s sagacious pardon was granted to prisoners from a mighty and fatherly position, and system is arranging for expansion of this viewpoint in political and social fields, as well.
President Raisi made the remarks on the sidelines of his meeting with the leaders of monotheist faiths on Tuesday about the pardoning of a large number of prisoners of the recent unrests in Iran, adding, “Ever since the beginning of the unrests, the Supreme Leader emphasized that there should be two levels of separation; the first level was separating the people from the rioters, that is to say, the ordinary people from the few people who acted against the norms, created unrest in public places and damaged public properties.”
He said that the second level, in which his eminence emphasized to separate people in it, was between the rioters and the youth, especially those young people who were emotionally, or under the influence of high volume of propagations of the enemies of Iran, acted indecently, or illegally, and to let them return to embrace the nation, and as the Supreme Leader said, “since they are our own children”.
Raisi added, “This approach about the members of the society, and particularly the young generation, after the cooling down of the rioting and unrests, is from a mighty and fatherly stand, who is after keeping every individual in the society, and especially the youth, who are the human capitals of the society, and the offspring of the nation.”
He said that the Supreme Leader believes the life of an individual who is not linked to the organizers of unrests, and has not committed crimes, must not be ruined due to making a mistake, and their jobs and social status must not be threatened.
“Accordingly, pardoning those whose files are based on accusation, and not definite decree is issued against them yet, is granted based on the Supreme Leader’s stands.”
The president’s meeting with the leaders of monotheist faiths was on the occasion of the 44th anniversary of the glorious victory of the Islamic Revolution at the Summit Meetings Hall of Tehran.
