Raisi says 'prophetic guidelines' of Supreme Leader put an end to unrests

Tehran, IRNA – Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said on Tuesday that the wise remarks and prophetic guidelines of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei put an end to recent unrests which had caused suffering to both the Iranian people and government officials. The president made the remarks following an end to several days of violent unrest which broke out across the country after the death of a young woman in police custody. Speaking earlier today, Iran’s Judiciary chief Hojjatoleslam Mohseni Ejei said that vandalism is not regarded as a way to show protest. Showing protest is legally recognized, Mohseni Ejei said, however noting that setting public and private property on fire, scaring the citizens, and killing and injuring police officers are not regarded as ways of protesting. He said that such acts of vandalism are regarded as disturbance and chaos worldwide and are dealt with decisively and legally. The official added that such incidents are not something new in Iran as the enemies of the Islamic Republic have done whatever they could over the past forty years to stop this system from making progress.
