TEHRAN -- Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said on Monday the confidence the people have placed in the Judiciary indicated the extent the justice system has succeeded in carrying out its duties. The Leader's meeting with judicial officials coincided with the Judiciary Day, which marks the day on which the then Iranian Chief Justice Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti along with about 70 ranking officials were martyred in a bomb blast at the headquarters of the Islamic Republic Party (IRP) in 1981. The Leader honored the memory of Ayatollah Beheshti and the martyrs of the 7th of Tir and that of then president Mohammad Ali Rajaei and prime minister Mohammad Javad Bahonar who were martyred in another bomb blast on August 30, 1981. On the conflict between the supporters of the Islamic Revolution and the counterrevolutionaries, the Leader said those opposing the divine sovereignty of Iran were lobbying against interference of religious Leaders in social affairs, because they well knew that establishment of a government on the basis of Islam and the Islamic teachings would make the interference of arrogant and foreign powers in Iran impossible.
The supreme Leader said the Islamic and Qoranic teachings do not allow the arrogant and alien powers to interfere in the country, instead, it is capable of mobilizing the people to stand against the enemy. This is separate from the partisan and political attitude. The Leader said in the early days of the Islamic Revolution, the late Imam Khomeini and the revolutionary people who had logic strongly stood against the hue and cry of the opposition currents.
"In the confrontation any individual who resisted the counterrevolutionaries was subject to various kinds of conspiracy. At last, they (counterrevolutionary forces) resorted to terrorism. Therefore, what is important today is that the insiders should be aware of the enemy's plots and the goals it is pursuing," the Leader said. The Leader said every individual in the county should have the feeling that the Judiciary is working to protect their rights and bring to justice those who tramples upon the people's rights.
The Leader said the Judiciary is workng on the basis of Sharia law and any part of the Judiciary which does not observe the Islamic codes is not acceptable.
