On December 13th 1982, Imam Khomeini issued an 8 article command to the authorities of the judiciary system and all execution organizations about changing the regulations to an Islamic form
We could consider this command of Imam, which was published four years after the revolution, as a jurisprudence verdict which was challenging the judiciary system
The founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in this command emphasizes on protecting people’s privacy
Among all of Imam’s messages, his Eight Articled Directives are highly notable.
Other than protecting people’s privacy, considers both sides of human dignity meaning inherent value and dignity of individuals and stresses on basic and important principles such as preserving human’s dignity in the field of security
On the occasion of the anniversary of the issuing of Imam Khomeini’s Eight Articled Directives we spoke to Hojat al-islam Hossein Ansarirad, head of the 90th article commission of the 6th parliament of Iran
He believes that the message of Imam’s Eight Articled Directives is one of his strongest ideas which is dominant on minor cases, individual commands, short time decisions that observe special conditions
Imam’s Eight Articled Directive were issued at a time that the country was facing a war with Iraq and a year after terrorizing the officials and several bombings and even armed street conflicts, the interior political situation had just became settled; despite all these the Islamic revolution’s great leader insisted on “replacing God’s rules instead of tyranny rules of the previous regime in the Islamic Republic’s system” to protect all of the people’s right and privacy
