Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has granted amnesty to more than 2,800 jailed convicts to mark two Muslim religious holidays, his website said Saturday.
The statement did not elaborate on the identity of the 2,825 prisoners who were either pardoned or had their sentences commuted. Clemency was granted to mark Eid al-Adha celebrated in Iran on July 21 and Eid al-Ghadir commemorated on Thursday. Eid al-Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice, is one of the biggest celebrations on the Muslim calendar, and Eid al-Ghadir is a significant Shiite religious holiday.
