Message from the President

Text of the President's message on the occasion of the martyrdom of two prominent judges of the Judiciary, Hojjat al-Islams Razini and Moqiseh:

In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Template:Quran

The martyrdom of two of our country's prominent judges, Hojjat al-Islams Ali Razini and Mohammad Moqiseh, in a cowardly and inhumane terrorist action, caused me deep sorrow. Undoubtedly, the clear path of these hardworking and experienced judges of the Supreme Court, who dedicated their entire lives to combating various crimes against national security and defending the rights of the nation, will continue with strength, and no disruption will occur in the process of executing justice in the country. I strictly request security and law enforcement forces to promptly investigate the dimensions and angles of this condemned act and take necessary actions to identify the commanders and perpetrators. Expressing sympathy with their honorable families, I offer condolences for this unfortunate incident to the noble nation of Iran and especially the country's judicial system, and I ask God Almighty for the elevation of these martyrs' ranks, patience and reward for their survivors, and speedy recovery for the injured. Masoud Pezeshkian, President of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Message from the Head of the Judiciary

Text of the Head of the Judiciary's message following the martyrdom of two prominent judges of the Judiciary, Hojjat al-Islams Razini and Moqiseh:

In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Template:Quran

The martyrdom of two prominent, revolutionary, and mujahid judges of the judiciary, Hojjat al-Islams Mr. Ali Razini and Mohammad Moqiseh, in a terrorist action on Saturday, mourned all servants of the Islamic Republic system in the judiciary. These two martyrs of the judiciary, during years of service in the judiciary, were constantly at the forefront of realizing justice and securing the rights of the oppressed against oppressors, corrupt individuals, and criminals, and never showed weakness or hesitation in trying and punishing terrorists, spies, people's killers, and those threatening citizens' security. These two judge martyrs, in the position of judging and reviving people's rights, had decisiveness, courage, and frankness, and this matter was displeasing to the breakers of covenant and hypocrites. Martyrs Razini and Moqiseh were truly true believers in the Islamic Revolution and the school of the Two Imams of the Revolution, and were true servants of the people; due to their decisive rulings against terrorists whose hands were stained with the pure blood of the Iranian people, they were always subject to the spite and hatred of enemies. Without a doubt, martyrdom is the best and highest outcome and a great reward that God the All-Knowing bestowed upon Mr. Razini and Moqiseh; may God gather the pure souls of these two martyrs of the judiciary with His saints. I congratulate and offer condolences for the martyrdom of these two revolutionary and sincere judges to their honorable family, friends, and respected colleagues in the judiciary and to the entire dear nation of Iran. Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje'i
