Decree [Appointment of the Attorney-General of Iran]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

His Eminence Hujjat al-Islam Aqa Haj Shaykh Mahdi Rabbani Amlashi- may his graces last:

I hereby appoint you as the Attorney-General of the country. I am hopeful that you will strive to your utmost to further establish Islamic principles in the Judiciary along with the cooperation of the Chief Justice of the country, and will fulfill the demand of our oppressed peoples for the newly established Judiciary to function upon the basis of the sacred teachings of Islam. (I am hopeful) that you will, God willing, tap the full potential of the pious Muslim judges as well as the noble employees of the department of justice in discharging this important responsibility. May God grant you success.
