The contribution was made in honor of the upcoming annual Golrizan event, a charitable initiative dedicated to helping prisoners incarcerated for unpaid debts and other financial liabilities.
The ceremony is traditionally held during the holy month of Ramadan across Iran, with government officials, philanthropists, and members of the public attending.
The event is held to secure funds for the release of inmates in need. The 39th edition of the Golrizan ceremony is expected to draw widespread public support as part of ongoing humanitarian efforts during Ramadan.
Earlier in February, Ayatollah Khamenei agreed to pardon, reduce, and commute the sentences of more than 2,000 convicts, following a request by the head of Iran’s judiciary.
The Leader approved the proposal submitted by Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei to grant clemency to 2,108 individuals convicted by general and revolutionary courts, the Armed Forces Judicial Organization, and government penal institutions.
The request was made in a letter addressed to the Leader on the occasion of the Shabaniyeh religious holidays and the 47th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution.
Such measures are traditionally announced on major religious and national occasions, during which the head of the judiciary requests the Leader’s approval for pardons or sentence reductions for eligible inmates in accordance with the law.
