Addressees: People of the Kerman province
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
The venerable orators and distinguished preachers of Kerman (may their blessings last)
The esteemed people of Kerman (may God Almighty assist them):
After extending my regards, I have to express my regret and sorrow about the offences being committed by the agents around the country. Among them were the recent incidents in Kerman which resulted in His Eminence Thiqat al-Islam, the venerable orator, Mr. Hujjati's «1» (may his graces last) migration. The agents, instead of punishing the wrong-doers, supported them by committing acts against the Islamic law and human conscience, and unlawfully bothered His Eminence. I have asked His Eminence to return home. I ask the worthy people to commend His Eminence for his endurance and keeping calm. Prevent the agents from perpetrating their indecent behavior. You venerable people have to make your gatherings more and more crowded, especially on Friday under the supervision of the prominent `ulama', the Hujjat al-Islams and the great preachers. Pay more attention to the religious customs and ceremonies. Do not be silent against oppressions and offenses and notify the oppressive regime's offences to the Iranian nation and all Muslim people in absolute sobriety. Ask God Almighty for help through the Master of the Age (may God Almighty expedite his glorious advent), so that the tyrannical government cannot take any step against Islam and Qur'anic laws. May God's peace, mercy and blessings be upon you.
