INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Judiciary said in a statement.Such allegations had been circulated in order to try to tarnish the sanctity of the amnesty by the Leader as
well as the joyful social atmosphere that followed the issuance of the decree.Less than a week ago, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei either pardoned
or commuted the sentences of a large number of prisoners, who had been arrested during the recent riots in the country.The Leader issued the
decree on the occasion of the 44th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution and the birth anniversary of Imam Ali (AS), the
first Shia Imam.Further down the statement, the Judiciary clarified that the only commitment that had been asked of the prisoners to make
was for them to give a voluntary pledge not to repeat the crimes they had committed, Press TV reported.
