SAEDNEWS: In a rare display of cross-party unity, Iran’s reformists, conservatives, and independents have jointly called on President Masoud Pezeshkian to request a general amnesty for all political prisoners from the Supreme Leader.
According to Saed News, Iran’s major political factions—including reformists, principlists, and independents—have issued a unified appeal to President Masoud Pezeshkian, urging him to formally request a sweeping general pardon for all political detainees from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The call was made through an official letter by the House of Parties of Iran, a political umbrella organization representing diverse ideological currents. In the letter, the group implores the newly elected president to leverage his executive authority and political capital to secure a national act of clemency, citing the urgent need for reconciliation and societal healing.
The unprecedented consensus among rival political blocs underscores a shifting tone in Iranian politics following the tumultuous years marked by public protests, imprisonments, and heightened repression. While details of the number or identities of those potentially eligible for release were not disclosed, the message is unmistakable: a general pardon would signal goodwill and strengthen national cohesion.
President Pezeshkian, who campaigned on themes of moderation and unity, now faces a critical test of leadership. Whether he can translate this bipartisan plea into tangible action depends not only on his political resolve but also on the Supreme Leader’s readiness to endorse such a sweeping gesture amid ongoing domestic tensions and international scrutiny.
