Iranian judiciary Chief has called on his Indian counterpart to ease the extradition of Iranian and Indian convicts who deserve to receive legal remission.

According to Qom News Gholam-Hossein Mohseni Ejei made the remarks in a meeting with the chief justice of India on the sidelines of the 20th Meeting of Chief Justices of the Supreme Courts of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in Hangzhou, China.

He stated that Iran is ready to sign a memorandum of understanding with New Delhi in various legal and judicial fields, in particular regarding the extradition of convicts. He said that some offenders are not professional criminals and deserve to serve their imprisonment periods in their own countries.

Ejei asserted that Tehran believes member states of the SCO and the BRICS group can reach a consensus to overcome challenges and international problems. He called on these member states to expand their collaboration to develop biological processes.

At the head of a high-ranking judicial delegation, Iran’s judiciary chief began a visit to China on Monday to participate in the 20th Meeting of Chief Justices of the Supreme Courts of the SCO. Mohseni Ejei delivered two speeches at the opening and closing ceremonies of the meeting and held discussions with his counterparts on the sidelines of the event.
