tehran, june 28, irna -- "the judiciary branch is one of the
efficient organs of the government, the basis of national order and discipline, guarantor
of security and justice and the enforcer of law," the leader of the islamic
revolution and supreme religious jurisprudent, grand ayatollah Seyyid Ali Khamene’i
said here sunday. the leader further stressed, "consequently, it is not permitted to
weaken the judiciary branch as the responsibility assigned to that power is vital and
sensitive in nature." "as decisions made by the judicial power leave subsequent
effects in the rest of the government institutions, it is necessary that those who have
responsibilities in the judiciary system, act in accordance to the norms of
sincerity, trustworthiness, chasteness, preciseness judiciousness and dispense their judgment in
firmness," ayatollah Khamene’i stated.
warning the political factions and the press, the supreme religious
jurisprudent stressed, "one of the ways to create mistrust and suspicion in the
hearts of people against the judiciary system is to spread rumors and to issue baseless
irresponsible statements against that sovereign legal institution." "justice and
fair handedness are the two most important criteria in the islamic community and that the
social order is based on justice," the leader of the islamic revolution
elucidated.
the grand ayatollah further pointed out, "injustice breeds
swindlers, embezzlers and profiteers." "consequently, the judiciary branch with
the help of the executive branch are instructed to look for those who have accumulated
wealth illegitimately," the leader recommended. ayatollah Khamene’i then advised
the judiciary branch to stand firm against the criminals as the honor, dignity and respect
of the that system is based on dispensation of precise justice in the community. the
leader of the islamic revolution was speaking to the top judiciary officials and the
families of the martyrs of the seventh of tir when seventy two of the best and the
brightest iranian officials attained martyrdom in an explosion at the islamic republic
party headquarters on june 28, 1981.

amol, mazandaran prov., june 11, irna -- the leader of the islamic
revolution, ayatollah Seyyid Ali Khamene’i said on thursday that unity and following
the guidance of islam and holy quran are the two principles for the progressive process of
the islamic revolution. addressing tens of thousands of mazandarani people who had
gathered to welcome the leader, ayatollah Khamene’i said the city of amol is a
stronghold of islam and shi'ites thanks to the services of two renowned religious
scholars, ayatollah hassan-zadeh amoli and ayatollah javadi amoli. the two
ayatollahs,
born in amol, are instructors of the theological school of qom.
the supreme leader recalled the bright record of amoli people during
the islamic revolution and eight years of sacred defense (1980s) and said the amoli people
stood against the counter-revolutionaries and turned the city into a bastion of islam and
revolution. in 1981 a group of armed counter-revolutionaries attempted to capture the
city's public buildings and create chaos in the city. the
people took up arms and managed to capture the terrorists. some
civilians were martyred in the clashes. the supreme leader said the islamic administration
in iran is a blessing from the almighty thanks to the aspiration of the sacred personality
of the late imam Khomeini.
elsewhere in his address, ayatollah Khamene’i said the enemies of
the revolution are trying in vain to make the nation forget the main enemies and sow
discord among them. the leader said an independent and free nation is one that is capable
of standing on its own feet and tread the right path with unity. the iranian nation has
done so in the past 19 years (since the establishment of the islamic republic) and has
made great achievements despite the harmful plots of the world arrogance, ayatollah
Khamene’i said. the leader recommended the youth to meditate on the will of the late
imam, calling on the nation to resort to islam and solidarity and not to neglect the
enemy, as the two major points mentioned in late imam's will. the enemy does not always
penetrate through geographical borders, sometimes it may infiltrate through the cultural
borders, something which requires more care on the part of the people to deal with it the
supreme leader said.
the leader arrived in amol at 9:50 hours local times (5:00
gmt) and was
accorded warm welcome by the mazandarani people. the crowd of people lining up the stree
four kilometers to greet the leader caused the leader's motorcade to stop several time on
its way to shahid chamran stadium, the venue for the meeting. the young population and
revolutionary mazandarani citizens encircled the car carrying ayatollah Khamene’i.

for the iranian nation, adding ''all people should learn imam's words and ponder them so
