On Wednesday, Ayatollah Khamenei approved a request from Iran’s Judiciary chief, Gholam-Hossein Mohseni Ejei, to pardon or reduce the sentences of 3,126 individuals convicted in general, revolutionary, and military courts.
The clemency was granted as Iran celebrates a series of important religious occasions, namely Mab'ath—the beginning of the mission of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)—and the birth anniversary of his grandson, Imam Hussein (AS), the third Shia Imam.
