Khamenei Pardons 920 Prisoners

My Comment: This is developing, nothing yet about who these prisoners are. Nothing about Pastor Saeed. Pray for his release. It still defies the imagination that Pastor Saeed’s release wasn’t made a pre-condition for talks with Iran. Why are they allowed to blatantly defy human rights while the west blindly leads them into world power?

(Israel National News) Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, agreed on Monday to pardon or reduce the sentences of 920 people, Reuters reported, citing the official Iranian IRNA news agency.

The move is a customary gesture to mark the anniversary of the Islamic Republic.

It was the second large-scale pardon this year, and it comes after Khamenei pardoned or eased the sentences of 878 people in honor of the Prophet Mohammed’s birthday in January.

IRNA did not say whether those pardoned on Monday included any of the nearly 900 people the United Nations’ special rapporteur on human rights says are currently in jail for political offences.
