Letter [to Supreme Judicial Council]

In His Most Exalted Name

Supreme Judicial Council of the Islamic Republic of Iran,

I would like to point out the following issues:

1. You, who have judicial responsibility and the highest judicial authority in the country of 50 million population, should not engage in other works at office hours. Is it not better for you to settle the judicial affairs and be engaged in judicial work beyond the office hours?

2. Dividing the judicial work makes us know with whom we are dealing with. Evidently, this affair is necessary; preservation of law is also possible in this manner.

3. I cannot tolerate postponing of God's decree. If there would be any deficiency in work, I would directly take measure as I have done on some cases.

I am fond of you but in relation to the religious duty I cannot afford to be indifferent. Peace be upon you.

Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
