The Supreme Judicial Council, in its 220th session held on Thursday, 01/21/1982, discussed the means to be used by the revolutionary prosecutors and courts in confronting members and partisans of the Mujahedin band and approved the following:

1. Those whose activities had been limited to reading Mujahedin’s newspapers, and books, and participation in their meetings, and who, following His Holiness Imam [Khomeini’s] declaration of said band’s deviant behavior, have severed all contacts with the band and, abiding by said declaration, have in fact left the Mujahedin and repented;

2. Those who had been deeply involved with the Mujahedin, and perhaps even organically linked with them, but, following Imam’s declaration of the band’s deviancy, have generally left the band, and proceeded to repent;

3. Those who, following Imam’s declaration of the band’s deviancy, and before the band’s decision to embark on armed insurrection, had only engaged in reading their newspapers and books, but have since left the band and proceeded to repent;

4. Those who, in addition to reading newspapers and books, had participated in the band’s unarmed demonstrations prior to its decision to embark on armed insurrection, and had been later arrested and have now proceeded to repent;

5. Those who, in addition to reading the band’s books and newspapers, had also participated in its demonstrations prior to the declaration of armed resurrection and had been arrested at the time, and have now seriously repented and, according to revolutionary prosecutor’s office and courts, they would not resume deviant activities.

6. Those whose connections with deviant bands, following their declaration of armed insurrection, were only limited to reading newspapers and books, and have not cooperated with them by disseminating false rumors, and today have even severed whatever connections they have had with deviant bands.

The individuals belonging to the preceding 6 categories shall be treated as follows:

a) They shall be released if they have already been tried and convicted and have completed the term of their sentence,

b) They shall be placed in the list of candidates for amnesty, provided they have been tried but have not completed the term of their sentences.

c) If they have been arrested, their case-at whatever stage- shall be closed and they shall be released.

d) If they have not been arrested, they shall not be arrested for the commission of acts enumerated in above mentioned categories.

Note: The preceding measures notwithstanding, members of said categories may be summoned, given necessary instructions, or required to give assurances or provide bail.

7) Those who have cooperated with the deviant bands by participating in their armed demonstrations and perhaps in some of their military operations shall also be released if they have completed their prison terms and otherwise be placed in the list of candidates for amnesty, provided that a committee, appointed by the prosecutor, ascertains that they have repented and will not, if freed, engage in anti-Islamic activities. However, none of the aforementioned individuals shall be released before completing a one year prison term.

Note: In order to identify the group placed in category 7, and to review and decide cases involving members of other groups, a committee shall be set up composed of the following individuals:

1. Two individuals from the prisons’ cultural centers and, where such centers do not exist,“ a religious judge”;

2. Two individuals from among those individuals who have sufficient knowledge about the internal organizational set up of deviant bands;

3. one individual from the knowledgeable employees of the office of the revolutionary prosecutor;

4. One psychologist, if possible.
