Fearless Leader pardons post-election convicts
[Iran Press TV Latest] Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has pardoned or commuted the sentences of a number of convicts involved in the post-election riots in Iran last year. Eighty-one convicts implicated in the unrest following the June 12, 2009 Iranian presidential polls were pardoned or had their sentences reduced upon the Leader's approval on Wednesday. The request for amnesty came from Judiciary Chief Sadeq Amoli Larijani. In his letter to Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Judiciary chief had underlined that the 'regretful' convicts would be eligible for pardon or sentence reduction if the Leader approved.
