Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Tuesday granted amnesty or reduced sentences to more than 2,000 convicts. This decision was made as part of an annual amnesty coinciding with the Islamic holiday. The pardon covers various categories of prisoners, including political activists and those convicted of economic crimes. According to officials, this measure aims to humanize the criminal justice system and strengthen social cohesion. Meanwhile, critics point to the need for systemic reforms in the country's judiciary.
