IRAN TO BE
JUDGED BY ITS OWN LAWS
The Iranian Penal Code came into effect in 1991 and is the
codification of several different pieces of legislation that addresses
punishment for criminal conduct.
The code comprises 729 articles and is divided into five
“books” or main sections that deal with general penal provisions and four
specific categories of punishments referenced in shari’a law.
These categories include:
a) hadd or hodud (pl.),
defined as “crimes against God,” the punishments for which, including degree,
type and implementation, are specified in shari’a law ;
b) qesas, retributive justice reserved for crimes
that cause death or injury, such as murder ( “retribution crimes”);
c) diyeh, monetary fine or compensation to
victims in the form of “bloody money” for unintentional acts that cause death
or injury or for intentional crimes not covered by qesas (“compensation
crimes”); and
d) ta’zir, or punishments for criminal acts that
do not have specific or fixed sentences or penalties under sharia law but are
considered to be in conflict with religious or state interests (“discretionary
crimes”).
Under the leadership of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the
founder and first Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, lawmakers drafted a
constitution that declared the Jafari or Twelver Shia school of jurisprudence
the official state religion and shari’a law as a source of applicable law.
While the current penal code claims to have made some
advances in Iranian Law, the Law continues to deprive Iranians of their basic
rights under international law to fundamental freedoms, freedom from cruel and
arbitrary punishment, and freedom from discrimination.
The penal code includes a specific provision that explicitly
empowers judges to rely on religious sources where crimes or punishments are
not specified in the penal code. The code fully retains Iran’s overly broad and
vaguely worded national security laws under which authorities can prosecute,
convict, and sentence political dissidents and others exercising their basic
rights to freedom of speech, assembly, association, and religion. The new code
also disturbingly expands the definition of another vaguely worded crime, efsad-e
fel arz, or “sowing corruption on earth”, which authorities have often used
to sentence political dissidents and anti-government critics to death.
The question is: What will happen to Iran if it is to be
judged by its own laws?
A cleric regime guilty of the most heinous crimes such as:
Corruption, theft, terrorism, torture, murder, intimidation,
lying, self enrichment and threatening world peace.
By their own laws Iran’s leaders should be incarcerated,
hanged, decapitated, stoned, hands amputated, blinded, lashed and dismembered.
