On the occasion of the martyrdom anniversary of Ayatollah Doctor Beheshti and commemorating the national week of the Judiciary Branch, the chairman and officials of the Iranian Judiciary Branch, as well as the heads of Justice Departments from across the nation, met with the Leader on Wednesday.

“In managing the most critical issue of the country, i.e. economy, the judiciary branch plays the most important role; but the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch are also instrumental and influential,” the Leader said, according to Khamenei.ir.

Highlighting the need for a secure economic arena, Ayatollah Khamenei stressed: “Establishing security in economic arena is part of the responsibilities of the judiciary. The business, life and livelihood of the people must be secure; the judiciary branch must confront those who disrupt the economic security."

The Leader went on to say: "Serious and explicit confrontation with the economic corruption and corruptors represents another responsibility of the judiciary branch. You must engage in resolving this issue effectively and explicitly, and be active.

Ayatollah Khamenei urged the Judiciary to act resiliently against the slanderers while practicing mercy with the people and added: We must act in the face of enemies, conspirators and slanderers seriously, but in face of the people we must act with kindness, compassion, and humbleness. We must come to an agreement with them, so we can attract the public's trust.

The Leader of the Revolution regarded building public trust as a key duty to be carried out by the Judiciary system and stated: Attracting the publics' trust and building confidence are the essential duties of all the entities, especially the judiciary branch and its officials. Building confidence requires two main approaches: pragmatic action and advertising.
