Tehran, SAEDNEWS: Addressing a meeting of the High Judicial Council of the Judiciary on Monday, Mohseni Eje'i said there are Iranian nationals living abroad who wish to return home while they are scared of facing prosecution in the country.
"No Iranian, who is a citizen of Iran and is now outside, is barred from entering the country and there is no ban on their return," he said.
"There are cases in which if these people come back and their issues are dealt with here, it will be in their interest and they will get out of the situation of uncertainty," Mohseni Eje’i said.
"Currently, there are people abroad whose properties and estates inside are not taken care of, and some stakeholders scare them out not to return to the country, but if these people return, their financial cases will be resolved in a simple and precise judicial manner," he added.
"There are some people who, because they had been banned from leaving the country in the past, are now worried that they will be arrested and sent to jail upon their arrival at the border and their cases will not be dealt with. However, these individuals can return to the country after filing their cases with the Iranian Judicial system without fear of getting detained."
Meanwhile, Mohseni Eje'i reminded the prosecutors and the legal authorities that persons who were banned from leaving the country in the past and do not have a standing arrest warrant now should not be detained just because they were barred from leaving the country.
"Many people who have criminal or legal files, specially those who have a legal case and a long time has passed from their arrest warrant or their ban from leaving the country, there is no need to detain them. These persons can submit their cases to the Communications Center of the Judiciary or prosecutors and they can enter the country without any worries,” he said.
Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei in a decree early in July appointed Mohseni Eje'i as Iran's new Judiciary Chief.
Mohseni Eje'i replaced Ebrahim Rayeesi who won the June 18 presidential elections and is now Iran's President.
In his decree, the Leader called on Mohseni Eje'i to use new technologies in the Judiciary apparatuses, employ hard-working and trustworthy personnel, continue the serious fight against corruption, and establish direct contact with the people.
Mohseni Eje'i was the first deputy of judiciary chief during Rayeesi's leadership of the Judiciary (Source: Fars News).
