Decree [Appointment of the Prosecutor General of the Special Court for the Clergy]

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

His Excellency Hujjat al-Islam `Ali Fallahiyan- may his graces last,

In view of the importance of safeguarding the dignity of the clergy and the theological seminaries, I appoint you as the Prosecutor General of the Special Court for the Clergy so that you could address the crimes of the pseudo-clergy in accordance with the sacred religious standards. Meanwhile, all the courts and public prosecutor's offices are duty-bound to assist you in dispatching requested files that are within the jurisdiction of these courts and prosecutor's offices. Since you are familiar with the anti-revolutionary activities in whatever form and garb, you are supposed to perform your crucial duty meticulously and decisively without being impressed by pressure exerted by various figures and personalities. You should regard God as Omnipresent and observe Islamic justice in all aspects. May God grant you the opportunity to serve Islam, the Muslims and the clergy.

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
