Amnesty (Pardon) and Commutation of Criminals and Accused Persons on the Occasion of the 44th Anniversary of the Victory of Islamic Revolution

On 5 February 2023, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution agreed to the 24 January
2023 proposal presented by the Chief of the Judiciary for the pardon and
commutation of sentences meted out to a significant number of convicts and
defendants arrested during the recent riots, and those convicted in Public Courts,
Courts of Revolution, and the Judiciary Courts of the Armed Forces.
In his letter to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Hujjat al-Islam wal-Muslimeen
Eje’i wrote: “In the recent unrest, a number of people, especially young ones,
committed wrong behaviors and crimes due to the incitement and propaganda of the
enemy. In addition to causing problems for themselves, they have also caused
hardship for their families and relatives. Now that the schemes of the foreign enemies
and the anti-Revolution movements against the people have been unmasked, a
significant number of them are expressing regret and remorse and asking to be
forgiven.”
