Decree [Necessity to implement and follow-up the "8- Articled Directive" about the approach with opponents and transgressors of the rights of the people]

[In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Blessed presence of Supreme Ayatullah Imam Khomeini, leader of the Revolution and the Founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran,
This is to inform His Eminence that investigations undertaken show that the movable and immovable properties of certain individuals, are seized and sometimes impounded by various means that are based on the general commandments of some of the respected tenets. Based on what has been stated some of the previously mentioned commandments are attributed to Your Eminence, which, in the opinion of this committee is in contradiction with the recent directive. Please state your blessed opinion in this regard.

About the seizures, the issue is the same that is stated in the 8- Articled directive. Any sort of ownership and possession, transference of ownership, placing in trust and so forth prior to the issuance of verdict of the courts is not legal. If a verdict or order is in contradiction to it, then it is not valid and the committee should act decisively to restrain it. In case of attributing anything to this person, no action is to be taken before inquiring from me because many issues that are attributed to this person are contrary to the truth.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
