He went on to say that if everybody agree that the country should be administered based on the justice, then rule of the law will be the yardstick for implementing the justice.

He then pointed to the role of the media in rule of the law and justice in the society, adding that nobody does not oppose fair criticism and Judiciary welcomes it, too. He also urged the media to respect the red lines which have been set by the legislators and called on the media to respect the Press Law.

Hojjatoleslam Raeesi said that the Judiciary supports free flow of information and supports freedom of expression, urging the media to inject hope into the society and not to play in the court of the enemies.

He also emphasized the need for decent judicial support from all Iranian organizations for the nationals residing abroad.

“The administration and all the sectors and organizations should provide the necessary judicial support for Iranian expatriates, and we should maintain the connection of our fellow countrymen residing abroad with their culture and national customs and traditions,” he added.

He underlined that close interaction with Iranian nationals in other countries would be in conformity with Iran’s policies and benefit both the country’s national security and the expatriates.

The Judiciary chief further described the people of the country as Iran’s main “social asset and major component of power”, saying that the enemies are unable to take action against the Islamic Republic not because they do not intend to, but because they are faced with the Iranian people who safeguard the Islamic Revolution.
