INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
TEHRAN A funeral ceremony was held on Saturday morning at Tehrans historical Ark Mosque for Hojjatoleslam Hossein-Ali Nayyeri, a
long-serving and senior figure in Iran's judiciary, who died on April 3 following a prolonged illness.The event drew the existence of
top-level authorities, consisting of Judiciary Chief Hojjatoleslam Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, together with a number of other senior
judicial and federal government figures, and members of Nayyeris family.Nayyeri held numerous prominent judicial posts throughout his
profession, including serving as the head of the Special Courts accountable for implementing Article 49 of the Constitution, president of
the Supreme Disciplinary Court for Judges, and most just recently, as a senior consultant to the head of the Judiciary.In current days, his
death was marred by the circulation of unfounded claims on social networks alleging that Nayyeri had actually succumbed to injuries
sustained during the January 18 terrorist attack at the Supreme Court, an incident that resulted in the martyrdom of Hojjatoleslams
Mohammad-Reza Raazini and Mohammad Moqiseh
However, these reports were quickly and decisively rejected by the Judiciarys main media center, which issued a declaration on January 18
confirming that Nayyeri was not present at the scene of the attack and had not been damaged in any way.In reaction to the passing of
Hojjatoleslam Nayyeri, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, provided a message of condolence.The Leader used
his sympathy to Nayyeris family, good friends, and coworkers, recognizing his substantial contributions to the Judiciary because the early
Nayyeri was also honored as the brother of two prestigious martyrs
Ayatollah Khamenei wished divine mercy upon the late judge.Hossein-Ali Nayyeri was born in 1956 in among the cities of Iran's northern Gilan
He began his religious education at a young age at the Qom Seminary, where he studied under several popular clerics, most notably Ayatollah
Mohammad Mohammadi Gilani
Following the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Nayyeri joined the ranks of the judiciary, emerging from the Haqqani Seminaryan organization that
produced a number of the Islamic Republics judicial and political elite.His formal entry into the judicial system was available in 1980,
when he was advised by Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti, the then-head of the Supreme Judicial Council
Nayyeri was appointed as a Sharia judge at Evin Prison, a center mainly designated for political detainees.Throughout the 1980s and beyond,
Nayyeri stayed a long-lasting existence in Iran's legal system
His management at the Special Courts for Article 49a provision dealing with the restitution of illicit wealth accumulated under the previous
regimeplayed a crucial role in shaping early post-Revolution legal reforms.In 2022, he was designated by Mohseni Ejei as Senior Advisor to
the Head of the Judiciary.
