In His Most Exalted Name
Sha`ban al-Mu`azzam 13,1399 AH
His Eminence Hujjat al-Islam Aqa Haj Sayyid Kiramatullah Malik Husayni- may his graces last:
It is hoped that your esteemed self remains safe from all troubles, and that you will be successful in discharging your Islamic duties. Meanwhile, considering the condition of the prisoners and the accused, it is necessary that you take early action to convene the court and look into their cases, and pardon and free those whose sins are minor. The others should be tried according to religious laws, and the religious verdict issued in their cases, carried out. With regard to the condition of the region, you must make adequate efforts, in whatever way you deem fit, to restore calm and security. You must also invite and guide the esteemed inhabitants to forge unity, and to eschew differences and discord. You must also neutralize the plots of the enemies of Islam and the country in a prudent manner, and remind the people of their grave duty at this sensitive time.
I pray to the Almighty for everybody's success in serving Islam and the Muslims and in severing the links of the foreigners and the enemies. May God's peace and mercy be upon you.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
