Ayatollah Qassim’s statement: The Warning Has Come

In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful

The Warning Has Come

He who was warned is not excused.

There is no excuse after the Coronavirus pandemic spread among workers, for it is a blatant warning that it will spread among prisoners. Tomorrow, remorse will have no benefit, and what is remedied may not be remedied tomorrow. The people’s most precious things of their worldly affairs are their lives and their dignity, and the lives of prisoners, who are thousands, are seriously threatened. No sane person hesitates in advising to take the initiative to release prisoners.

The responsibility that the government bears before God Almighty, the society, and the human conscience, does not allow it to slacken.

Every initiative taken urgently regarding this matter is a sign of reason, wisdom and rightness.

All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds
