Letter number M/80-7662, dated 10 Dey 1380 [31 December 2001], from the deputy to the president for legal and [Islamic] Consultative Assembly affairs, along with its attachments, regarding the perverse Baha’i sect (copies attached), was presented to the president. He replied:
“Dr. Rowhani
Dr. Kharrazi
Dr. Mehrpour
Please review and find a solution. I had previously referred a similar matter to you. In all cases, I think that it is unacceptable that something that was considered to have been resolved in 1367 [1988-1989] is considered a problem today.”
Seyyed Ali Khatami
