Less than one percent of Iranians living outside the country have security issues, according to the Deputy Minister of Justice.
Deputy for Human Rights and International Affairs of the Ministry of Justice, Asghar Jahangirian, stated that based on official and research statistics, around 5 million Iranians reside abroad, with unofficial estimates ranging from 8 to 10 million. We all believe that the Iranians who may have security issues are less than one percent and very few, and this issue is solvable.
He further mentioned that in the discussion of providing legal services to Iranians abroad, the query system and Mikhak system at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Sana system at the Judiciary, and other established systems need to be evaluated. However, with the amendments made in the first 8 articles of the bill, obligations have been created for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Judiciary to provide services while adhering to the relevant laws, establishing necessary databases and gateways. There is no problem in this regard either.
Jalaliyan commented on the issue of entry bans, saying about entry bans, I must say that neither the constitution, nor reason, nor religious law allows for the prohibition of a country’s citizens from entering for any reason. One of the foundations of citizenship worldwide is soil, and an Iranian citizen cannot be prevented from entering the country, even if they are a criminal. The law must address it, and its framework is clear.
