The decision, announced on Tuesday, was in response to a request by Judiciary Chief Ayatollah Sadeq Amoli Larijani.

According to Article 110 of the Constitution, the Supreme Leader has the authority to pardon or commute prison terms of convicts upon a recommendation from the head of the Judiciary.

The Iranian nation, after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, made the historic and decisive choice of voting for the establishment of an Islamic Republic system through a two-day referendum held in March 1979.

Over 98.2 percent of Iranians in the referendum voted 'yes' to the Islamic Republic form of government, and since then April 1 has been observed every year as Islamic Republic Day.

'Independence, freedom, the Islamic Republic' has remained the main slogan of the Iranian people since the onset of the Islamic Revolution.
