To the Great Leader of the Islamic Revolution and Founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Imam Khomeini- may his benign existence endure,
Thank God that the dear and esteemed Imam has favored us by choosing us to take a step in implementing the decrees and hudoud (penal codes) of God. Your Eminence is requested to announce whether your directive dated Bahman 1,1367 AHS «1» is meant for the implementation of the penal codes of God or it also includes decrees in cases of qisas (lextalionis).

The mission I have assigned you is to execute the decrees after proper investigation into the files that have remained at the Supreme Judicial Council comprising cases of penal codes and lextalionis provided that relevant religious considerations are observed.
