Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei warns against doubting judiciary as it leads to loss of confidence in authorities

Iranian Supreme Leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei said on Monday that calling into question the hard work and official reports of the judiciary is wrong as it leads to public loss of confidence in authorities.

In a meeting with Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Sadeq Amoli Larijani and senior judicial officials, Sayyed Khamenei said the Iranian nation has been forced to confront bulling and arrogant powers because of its great objectives, which are the realization of Islamic values in society and the world. “So, it is necessary to confront difficulties with patience and insight and to turn hardships into a ladder for development and achieving progress,” his eminence stressed.

Ayatollah Khamenei stated that authority and public confidence are the two main pillars of the judiciary and stressed that the authority of the judiciary requires “appropriate human and technical infrastructure.”

“Turning justice into an all-encompassing and permanent feature of the judiciary, requires piety and an unbiased perspective on small and major events as well as the precise and prudent implementation of the law,” Sayyed Khamenei said.

The Islamic Revolution’s Leader pointed to the possibility of mistake in some reports and statistics and said this should not be extended and used to cast doubt as it shatters public confidence.

His eminence made the remarks in a meeting held to commemorate the martyrdom of former chief justice Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti.

The Mujahedin-e-Khalq Organization (MKO) masterminded a series of assassinations and bombings inside Iran, including the 1981 bombing of the offices of the Islamic Republic Party, in which more than 72 senior Iranian officials, including Ayatollah Beheshti, were killed.
