The head of the judicial system clarified: This is a Muslim, religious and unified nation that produces power; If this unity and integrity is created, maintained and strengthened, then many issues in the Islamic Ummah will be solved; Of course, the existence of differences of opinion and belief is a natural thing, it is important that we can come together in the main commonalities around the Qur’an, Sunnah and pure Islam; It should also be noted that unity has a series of principles and equipments that we must adhere to these principles and equipments.
In the continuation of today’s meeting, referring to the police force week, while honoring this week and congratulating all Faraja forces and all the security guards of the people and the country, he said: “Perhaps no institution in our country has as diverse a mission as the police force.” and not be responsible; In these last few weeks, the Faraja forces, along with the mobile protectors of the people’s security, have shone brightly and foiled the enemy’s plot to make the country insecure, by the grace of God and with the people’s support and insight.
While emphasizing that our police are powerful today, the head of the judiciary said: We must all help to increase the authority of this force that protects people’s security. We must not allow the authority of our police to be distorted; The police should be kind to the people and be sympathetic to the people and ensure and strengthen the security of the people in various fields; Alhamdulillah, our police is successful in these areas. We in the judicial system should, where necessary and within the framework of the legal standards, give them powers in order to advance Faraja’s missions as much as possible.
Qazi al-Qadat said: Thanks to the efforts of those in charge, there is good security in our country. Of course, some social anomalies have caused people to be careless, and in this regard, our emphasis is on the law enforcement officers, especially Faraja, who, with their existing legal capacities – until the implementation of the related bill – can deal with the perpetrators of social anomalies and those who If they pretend to commit a crime through negligence or intent, take legal action; Of course, in this regard, in the meeting dated April 9 of this year, appropriate emphasis was made to the custodians of the matter in the competent institutions.
The Head of the Judiciary stated: I have emphasized to the Commander-in-Chief of the country’s police force that the judicial system is ready to allocate special branches and issue special notices to judges and issue notices of proceedings to competent investigators in dealing with obvious crimes and social anomalies, and is even willing to do so. to form mobile branches; In the matter of dealing with theft, which threatens the psychological security of the people, Faraja should present his suggestions so that we in the judicial system can use the maximum legal capacity to deal more decisively with this crime and help Faraja in achieving this goal; It should be noted that in the discussion of theft, apart from returning the stolen property, it is very important to pay attention to the general aspect of this crime.
Hojjat-ul-Islam wal-Muslimin Mohseni Ajei, in the continuation of today’s meeting, emphasized on decisively and carefully dealing with corruption and corruption and said: we must deal with corruption and corruption without complacency or turning a blind eye; Whether it is ordinary people or government agents; Of course, we should pay more attention to the corruption of a person who is an agent of the system and confront it more decisively; it should be noted that sometimes a person does not commit corruption alone; This case applies especially to the issue of bank and facility corruptions in the most obvious way possible; In an interview, an official had reported a case of corruption in the import of goods; I asked him and emphasized to him that this case should not be viewed as one-dimensional and only prosecute and punish the importer; It should be noted who allocated currency to him; Who gave him the import license and why…
Emphasizing the proposition that corruption is contagious, the head of the judiciary stated: we should prevent corruption as much as possible, you may say that this is primarily my responsibility as the head of the judiciary, yes, absolutely correct. It is, but you, as the managers of the judicial system, must also be diligent in this case; The speed of action in dealing with corruption is very important; Of course, I don’t want to say that we should sacrifice accuracy for speed in this matter, but it is definitely necessary to speed up the fight against corruption; Also, knowing corruption, its dimensions, methods and complications is an extremely important issue; Sometimes we focus on a category that is not considered corruption at all, and on the contrary, we neglect a category that is a manifestation of corruption and has harmful effects; On the other hand, we must deal with and fight corruption decisively with low-cost and high-efficiency methods; Finding these methods requires forethought and follow-up.
The head of the judiciary clarified: In the fight against various types of corruption, measures that take away Barkat should not be taken. In this regard, the Supreme Leader has given emphatic orders and emphasis; One should not put a person in prison and then start studying and collecting evidence; Imprisoning a person and harming his dignity and having him stay in prison for a long time while no indictment has been issued against him creates the mentality that he was arrested without a reason; It may be said that we are verifying his statements or pursuing the origin of his property, or we are following up with the bank or the registration organization, so the question that arises is why you did not take these actions before his arrest?!
Judge Al-Qadat added: After the investigation is completed and the intention is to find the source of the person’s illegitimate wealth, we should no longer keep him in prison, because his life will be paralyzed. In the Parliament, I am referring to a case that deals with a banking issue. After two years, the indictment of this case has not yet been issued; I believe that we are guilty in this regard.
The head of the judiciary emphasized that, while the criminal court, judges and other competent departments should pay attention to this matter so that no one is arrested without a reason. On the other hand, let’s be very careful that in the way we enter the category of fighting corruption and the process that goes through in this direction, God forbid, nothing happens that takes away the blessing from our work; We are responsible to God and people in this matter.
In the continuation of today’s meeting, the head of the judiciary issued specific orders to the head of the country’s general inspection organization to quickly investigate some issues related to the supply of cars and said: “The issue of cars is considered a public matter for different sections of the people; In some media, this category has been raised that some people want to make the market more expensive in order to make the car more expensive, and I even saw the term “hoarding” in a newspaper. However, the country’s inspectorate should get into this issue as soon as possible so that if there is a mistake in this matter, it can be corrected quickly, and if not, the issue can be clearly explained to the people. It is very clear that, for example, a car manufacturer produced and supplied in a period of 3 months; This category should be entered quickly and the issue should be made clear to the people; If a person from the common people, who has taken the necessary steps to buy a car but has not yet received a car, sees a scene of unsold cars in the media, it will cause him annoyance.
At the end of this part of his speech in today’s meeting, the head of the judiciary emphasized and gave orders to help realize the slogan of the year and said: the relevant judicial departments, including the courts and prosecutors, the inspection organization, etc., do everything in their power to fulfill the slogan of the year. Help control inflation and production growth; In this regard, the officials of the country’s general inspection and our prosecutors and other relevant judicial officials should go to the field and touch the problems closely; In this regard, I have to express appreciation to the prosecutor of Tehran who, despite the high volume of work, has continuous field visits; Being in the field and examining issues and problems closely has many effects and benefits.
