In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Your Eminence Hujjat al-Islam Mousawi Ardebili, Chief Justice of the country, may God Almighty assist you,
In respect for the Ten-Day Dawn celebrations and the 22 Bahman which marks the victory of Islamic revolution of the honorable people of Iran, communicate to all public prosecutors and esteemed judges to investigate into the cases at the soonest time possible and that is in no more than two months and provide a list of the prisoners whose amnesty is in order according to sacred religious law and send it to me. «1» It is necessary that the concerned officials in providing this list do not show severity and should make greater efforts that prisoners can join our dear nation and traverse the path of revolution with it. You are advised to stress that this matter should not be neglected. The public prosecutor offices and judicial courts are obliged to investigate the cases that have been delayed for some reason or another as soon as possible and give them priority. I beseech God, the Most Blessed and Exalted, to grant you success in this important matter.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
