Speaking on the sidelines of the ceremony, Mohammad Hossein Ostad Agha, CEO of Karamat Razavi Foundation of Imam Reza shrine, said: "The National Campaign of Imam Reza’s Offering was initiated by the shrine and managed by the foundation in 2021. Today, it has grown into a significant social movement, playing a crucial role in freeing non-criminal offenders”.
Since the launch of the campaign, some 1,000 non-criminal offenders have been released.
These prisoners collectively owed approximately $9.2 m, of which some $4.2 m was forgiven by the claimants, with the remainder being paid by benefactors, Imam Reza shrine, and the Diyeh (Blood Money) Fund.
