TEHRAN – Judiciary Chief Hojjatoleslam Seyed Ebrahim Raeisi says the nature of Islamic ruling and the Islamic Republic of Iran is clean and anti-corruption and wherever it finds corruption, it will combat it and no organ and official can accept existence of corruption in the society and administrative system.
Speaking during a session of the Judiciary’s Supreme Council, Hojjatoleslam Raeisi called for transparency in all sectors especially in the economic sector and called for implementing e-government and launching mechanism for implementation of justice and serious combat with discrimination.
He reiterated that combat and trial are parts of making the administrative system healthy but before anything, the grounds which are source of corruption should be corrected preventive grounds should be set..
Hojjatoleslam Raeisi reiterated that the Islamic Republic and Islamic ruling is innately against corruption and it combats with corruption.
He reiterated that all organs are duty-bound to combat corruption and the Judiciary’s task is to supervise and eradicate grounds for corruption and to confront corrupts through fair judgement.
He further said enemies resort to distortion in order to paint a negative picture of the Islamic Republic in order to set up corrupted governments. He once again reiterated that all should stand against distortions and not trust the enemies.
He also said that his body considers the case of Lieutenant General Soleimani’s assassination as a priority to deal with.
“Pursuing the assassination of Martyr Soleimani is high on the Judiciary’s agenda,” Raeisi said.
He stressed that the cowardly move by the U.S. will not be left unanswered, adding, “General Soleimani’s martyrdom will make the nations in the region more aware” of the U.S. crimes.
He emphasized that the U.S. is terrorist and supports terrorists, too.
At the direct order of U.S. President Donald Trump, American terrorist forces launched airstrikes at Baghdad airport on Jan. 3, assassinating Lieutenant General Soleimani and deputy PMU Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and their comrades. Iran vehemently condemned the attack, vowing to take harsh revenge, part of which came five days later by a missile strike at U.S.’ al-Asad airbase in Iraq.
