Every board, the freedom of a prisoner

Abbas Keshani expressed his condolences on the arrival of the days of mourning for Hazrat Aba Abdullah al-Hussein (a.s.) and said: “Nazr Hosseini’s campaign is being held for the seventh consecutive year with the aim of freeing prisoners of non-intentional crimes, and fortunately, in the past years, with the help of religious delegations, benefactors and lovers of Ahl al-Bayt (a.s.), the ground has been set for the release of a large number of needy prisoners.” He added: Muharram and Safar are the months of sacrifice, forgiveness and arrest of the needy. Many of the inmates of non-intentional crimes who are in prison are the head of the family and their release can bring hope back to their homes. The director of Dieh headquarters in Tehran province continued: In this campaign, every religious body can provide the conditions for the release of a prisoner of non-intentional crimes by collecting donations and participation of members, so that at the end of the months of Muharram and Safar, we will see more prisoners return to their homes and families. Pointing to the important role of social institutions in promoting this godly culture, Keshani said: In addition to religious bodies, municipalities, media, non-governmental organizations, cultural centers, companies and other people’s groups can also be in this campaign alongside the headquarters of Diyeh in Tehran province and contribute to this philanthropic movement by informing, building culture and participating in financing the release of prisoners.

Abbas Keshani, describing the one-year performance of the People’s Headquarters of Dieh, Tehran Province, stated: In 1404, with the efforts and efforts of my colleagues in the headquarters of Dieh, Tehran Province, and with the help of well-intentioned helpers and benefactors, we were able to release 978 non-criminal debtors in non-intentional crimes. These people were in prison for unintentional crimes caused by mistakes, neglect and negligence.
He added: Out of a total of 978 prisoners, 110 people were released by holding peace and reconciliation meetings with their regrets and forgiveness. 868 people received their release by paying the money from Dieh headquarters of Tehran province and getting the satisfaction of Shakat.

71 of the released prisoners were women, who are sometimes the head of the family, and most of them were caught because of misplaced trust and guarantee for their spouse or brother.
Pointing out that financial convictions are still the main reason for incarceration of people for non-intentional crimes, the director of Dieh headquarters in Tehran pointed out that: of these, two people were in prison due to accidents, three due to workplace accidents, seven due to unintentional bodily injury, 648 due to financial convictions, 201 due to inability to pay dowry, and seven due to dowry. Keshani emphasized: In order to secure the debt of these prisoners, which was high, and their release, we witnessed the good cooperation of the judges who, by identifying these people, reduced a large part of the debt and helped them to pay their debt in installments. Also, part of this debt was forgiven by Shekat and they are one of our biggest charity groups. 160 billion Tomans were paid by Dieh headquarters in Tehran in the form of free loans and help from well-meaning benefactors.
He added: “Last year, we saw golrizans among family members or in school and staff for the release of prisoners, and dozens of prisoners were released with these golrizans.” Also, some compatriots spent the cost of funerals, anniversaries, and even weddings for the release of involuntary prisoners.
