In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Considering that expediting trials and enforcing verdicts, concerning criminals has been briefly suspended, it is necessary that from now on the trials take place under the supervision of the Islamic Revolutionary Council and the Islamic revolutionary government. For this reason, orders have been given to the Islamic Revolutionary Council to prepare and ratify a new set of rules. In this regard, it is necessary that Tehran's central court stop the trials from this date onward until the new set of rules is ratified. Provincial city courts may continue trials and hearings, but should put on hold the implementation of court verdicts, which should require from now on the approval of the central court based on the new set of rules.
It should be noted that all the revolutionary courts should only review cases involving anti-revolutionary crimes, and do not have any right to interfere in other kinds of offenses, such as robberies and other cases that require corporal punishment because the extraordinary revolutionary courts only concern the investigation of anti-revolutionary activities committed nowadays and during the oppressive regime.
