IN THE NAME OF GOD

The honorable and revolutionary people of Islamic Iran,
There is an obligation placed upon us which is not only our religious duty, but also a rational and national precept to safeguard the fruits of the revolution, independence, freedom, and the Islamic republic just as we protect our lives and even more than that, in order to insure its development through the legacy left to us by Imam Khomeini as a guiding light, and thus prevent the repetition of the tragedies and bitter memories of the days of the constitutionalist government and Reza khan’s dictatorship, which was a period of cultural void and disrespect when women became victims of violation and assault, and their honor and dignity was forgotten, and Iranians were accused of losing their identity ...A nation with a unique Islamic culture and a revolution paid for by the blood of our martyrs and the self sacrifice of selfless men and women and the bondage of noble and free-spirited people. We can surely not remain indifferent to the fate of such people, a people who is both aware and well-informed.
Let it not be said that under the pretense of so called disclosure, the honor and pride of those who made great sacrifices and are now the pillars of the system have been soiled. Thus, by extension, we shall be attacking the system as a whole, Imam Khomeini’s era, and also those very values which saw us through the years of the holy defense. Otherwise, history may repeat itself in the overthrow of the Islamic and the republic dimensions of the system, in the most inhuman and unethical manner allowing the achievements of the revolution to go to waste and the oppressors reach their goals.
we all know that those accused of corruption must be handed down to the proper judicial authorities of the Islamic Republic and any self-perpetuated act of revealing documents against anyone without proper proof in a court of law, and permitting such details of a case to be made public will only cause greater unrest and instability where people’s honor and reputation is concerned which is even more valuable than life itself in Islam.
Such ugly and futile acts will only lead to suspicion and instability causing division and discord, and will lead to greater misfortunes.

Iranian nation! It is necessary to act upon your religious duty to forbid the evil and fend off a greater and more wide-ranging form of corruption.
I am addressing myself to those who care for this system, and I say that the first step to forbid the evil and prevent corruption is the conscious and wary participation of each and every one of our dear people in the June 12 presidential election.
