Information Minister, Mr. Reyshahri, in a letter dated Bahman 11, 1366 AHS while highlighting the harmful effect of turning over the ministry's ongoing cases to the Majlis and reminding that the information in these cases, which have not yet been proved in terms of judicial and religious procedures, can be politically based, called on Imam Khomeini to give his opinion. In reply, the Imam wrote:
In His Most Exalted Name
Divulging the case of the accused in view of the said features is against religious law and the Constitution and the Ministry of Information is not authorized to disclose such cases.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
