Iran pardoned more than 2,000 prisoners after the judiciary requested clemency and received approval. The releases apply to low-level offenders and economic detainees. Individuals charged with security offenses, including protesters, activists, and journalists, remain in custody.
The pardons were granted with explicit carve-outs for those labeled threats to the state. The judiciary initiated the request, and approval followed. The measure affects only categories the government can afford to free while retaining those viewed as political risks.
