Our members of the judiciary, who selflessly served day and night for the manifestation of justice, worked hard throughout the month of Ramadan, as always. Our judges, prosecutors, all Justice Organization employees and lawyers have shown great devotion to the protection of rights and law.

On the occasion of Ramadan Feast, we also provided open viewing opportunities to convicts and detainees in our penal institutions so that they could feel the holiday climate. We believe that this practice contributes to the strengthening of social ties and the creation of an environment of solidarity in line with the spirit of the holiday.

Holidays are days of love, brotherhood, affection, hugs and reunion. I wish you to fully understand the spiritual atmosphere of the holiday, where respect for elders and compassion for the little ones reach their peak.

I greet you with affection, with the hope that it will be beneficial for all humanity, especially the Islamic world, and have a blessed Eid al-Fitr.”
