Ejei: We will not tolerate anyone in the fight against corruption

According to Ashura News, citing the Judiciary Media Center, Hojjatoleslamwalmuslemin Mohseni Ejei, in continuation of his series of meetings and brainstorming sessions with members of the commissions and factions of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, held a meeting with members of the "National Security and Foreign Policy" Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly.

In his speech at this meeting, referring to the topics raised by members of the "National Security and Foreign Policy" Commission of the Assembly, the Head of the Judiciary stated: I consider the topics and topics raised by you, the representatives of the people in the Islamic Consultative Assembly, to be concerned and compassionate; we in the Judiciary do not claim to be without flaws or problems; we have devoted all our efforts to correcting weaknesses and shortcomings, and in this direction, we accept the points of view and criticism of all those who are concerned and concerned. We believe that the judiciary can do better and more in some issues, and we are focused and oriented in this direction.

The head of the judiciary said: Of course, it should be noted that sometimes a person criticizes and complains about a topic and category from the position he is in; but when this person's position changes, his position also changes towards the same topic and category; we had many examples of people who were in the judiciary and had a specific opinion on an issue, but when they went to other institutions, their opinions on those issues also changed.

The head of the judiciary clarified: At one point in time, during a meeting in one of the important forums, personalities who had responsibilities in the country at some point criticized and complained about the way the country was governed; I said to them, "Aren't you gentlemen responsible in this country?" So why didn’t you take corrective action during your term of office to eliminate the categories that you interpret as “bad governance”? As the saying goes, we should stick a needle in our own hands and a needle in the pocket of others.

The Chief Justice stated: “In all the universities I attend to talk to students, I emphasize to them that if you have complaints about the actions of the officials, list these complaints so that when you reach a position of responsibility and authority, you don’t follow the same wrong path. At one point, I attended a university in Tehran and was confronted with a multitude of critical remarks, and of course, in many cases, the right of the students present in the meeting. Then I asked the audience how many graduates of this university are currently in charge in the country? In response, they mentioned a significant number; I told those critical students in the assembly, "So, you who may be held accountable in the future, take these criticisms into account and, during your term of office, avoid doing anything that will cause people to complain."

Referring to the judiciary's determination to fight various manifestations of corruption wisely and decisively, Hojjatoleslamwalmuslimin Mohseni Ejei continued: "Corruption is contagious; sometimes financial corruption also brings political and cultural corruption." We in the judiciary emphasize dealing with various manifestations of corruption wisely and decisively, and we will not tolerate it.

Referring to the people's livelihood situation, the head of the judiciary said: "Now, the people's livelihood situation is not only not good, but also bad; all powers and institutions must work to strengthen the country's economic and productive strength, which is effective in improving the people's livelihood situation. The culture of supporting investors in the country must change; we should not consider wealth as a negative value." Certainly, amassing wealth through illegitimate means is reprehensible and undesirable and must be dealt with firmly and legally; however, we should not consider wealth that is legitimate and obtained through strengthening the country's economic and productive strength reprehensible and undesirable.

The head of the judiciary stated: According to existing statistics, a significant number of Iranians reside abroad; we must certainly benefit from the intellectual and material capacities and creativity of these Iranians residing abroad.

Are all Iranians living abroad counter-revolutionary? Are many of them worse than some elements who take action inside the country? Is it undesirable for the enemy to recruit Iranians living abroad or for them to return to their homeland, even if they have criticism and open their mouths to criticize and complain?

Referring to his work priorities during the 44 months he has been in the position of head of the judiciary, the Chief Justice said: From the very first day that I was given the responsibility of head of the judiciary, I outlined several work priorities for myself, taking into account the country's essential needs, and in line with those priorities, I adopted a series of measures and measures; one of those priorities was to help strengthen the country's economic and productive strength in order to improve the people's living conditions. I firmly believe that in order to strengthen the country's economic strength, production barriers must be removed and investment security must be improved. The dignity of the investor who wants to contribute to the country's economic and productive prosperity must be preserved; We should not deal with him in a way that will repel him and we will regret it after a while.

During this meeting, in response to the remarks of one of the attendees regarding the lack of publication of the content of the courts, the Head of the Judiciary, while explaining the relevant law and emphasizing the distinction between the category of "publicity of the courts" and the category of "public publication", referred to the experience of granting permission to special courts for economic corruption and its extension in the late 1990s and said: In 2099, when we wanted to extend the permission of special courts for economic corruption, many sympathizers and concerned people, including some members of parliament, emphasized that the public and public publication of the content of special courts for economic corruption has consequences; therefore, upon the request of the then Head of the Judiciary to the Supreme Leader to extend the permission, this category was removed.

Many omissions are not crimes; It is a violation

The head of the judiciary, emphasizing that the judiciary must be a pioneer in adhering to the law, said: Sometimes, in areas where there is no law, demands and demands are raised from the judiciary; for example, in the discussion of "omission of acts", it should be noted that not every omission of acts is a crime and the judiciary cannot intervene in them, and the matter is pursued as administrative violations within the agencies themselves; of course, our inspection organization has intervened in some of the omissions; so that last year, more than 10,600 reports of violations and omissions of executive departments were referred by the inspection organization to the relevant departments.

Many laws that are enacted are not applicable a month later due to the country's conditions

The Chief Justice continued by addressing the pathology of drafting and regulating laws and said: Sometimes, we do not have the ability to implement some laws that we pass in the country at the same time as they are drafted. Sometimes, our passed laws, whether in the form of a plan or a bill, are drafted without considering the budget and financial burden.

Referring to the problems and constraints of budget and credit in the judicial system, the Chief Justice said: I emphasize once again to you, the representatives of the people in the parliament, that the doors of our courts and prisons are open for you to visit, and you can visit the judicial authorities and prisons within the framework of legal standards and express your points of view, and also become closely acquainted with our problems and shortcomings.

Let's reach a decision in the meetings and act on it

In the continuation of this meeting, referring to the issue of endowment lands raised by a number of parliamentarians, Hojatoleslam Walmuslemin Mohseni Ejei said: Today, most provinces of the country are facing issues and topics related to endowments; on the one hand, the boundaries of some endowment lands are not clear; on the other hand, in some cases, endowment documents may not exist and even those who did not have the authority to do so may have made endowments. It is necessary to reach a government decision regarding the issue of endowment lands and lands that are said to be endowments; a decision that includes the rights of the people and endowments.
