How are convicts included in the amnesty list?! The process of amnesty starts at the provincial level and leads to the Chief Justice's proposal to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic

Sheikh Sadegh Rahimi, explaining the details of the stages and methods of granting amnesty and reducing penalties for eligible individuals, stated:

A regulation regarding amnesty has been developed. According to this regulation, a provincial amnesty commission has been established in each provincial center, consisting of the Chief Justice of the province, the Prosecutor of the provincial center, and the Director of Prisons of that province. The responsibility for these commissions across the country lies with the heads of the provincial courts.

Months before any occasion, individuals who apply for amnesty according to the law are reviewed by this commission. If they are deemed eligible for amnesty, their cases are forwarded to the central commission based in the Judicial Deputy of the Judiciary. If the members of the central commission believe that amnesty or a reduction in penalties is warranted according to the law, this is communicated to the Chief Justice one month prior to the occasion. Ultimately, his opinion on national and religious occasions designated for amnesty in the regulation is reported to the Supreme Leader.

The Judicial Deputy of the Judiciary added:

For security convicts, the advisory opinions of security agencies are taken into account, and for drug offenders, the advisory opinion of the Anti-Narcotics Headquarters is sought.

He emphasized that the amnesty process in the Judiciary is conducted within the established framework, stating: What is important in this process is that the Judiciary proposes the amnesty of convicts completely based on the law, legally, and independently, and is not influenced by political issues, factions, or parties.
