The comments of the Supreme Leader at a meeting with senior judicial officials on the necessity of efforts to stand up for judicial independence dominated the front pages of Iranian newspapers on Monday. Also on the covers of the dailies were the return home of Foreign Minister Zarif from nuclear talks in Vienna and a call by the president on judicial officials to define political crimes.
Ettelaat: Those who spoil the independence of the Judiciary should be confronted, said the Supreme Leader at a meeting with senior judicial officials.
At the meeting, Ayatollah Khamenei further said, Corruption in the Judiciary would set the stage for massive corruption in society.
Organized efforts are needed to prevent criminal activities. Otherwise, criminal acts grow and grow and their management would become impossible.
