Title: Persepolis Official Highlights Importance of Judicial Integrity in Sports Ruling Revision
Arena of Accountability
In the politically charged world of Iranian sports, where football often intersects with matters of national procedure, a senior Persepolis FC official has spoken on the recent revision of a stadium ban verdict. Ali Inanloo, a member of the Persepolis board of directors, addressed the matter during a live broadcast, framing his comments within the context of respect for the nation’s judicial institutions.
The discussion centers on a sensitive match between Tractor and Persepolis. Initially scheduled to be held behind closed doors, the verdict was later revised to allow fan attendance, a decision that has sparked a conversation about due process and the integrity of official rulings.
Defending Judicial Sanctity
In his televised remarks, Inanloo posed a series of rhetorical questions aimed at underscoring the importance of precision within the judicial system. He questioned how significant oversights could occur in an official document reviewed and signed by multiple qualified individuals.
“In the same revised verdict,” Inanloo noted, “they mistakenly wrote ‘Jam-e Hodood’ instead of ‘Hazfi Cup,’ and they can correct such things.” However, he expressed deeper concern over the perception of the process, asking, “Is it not an insult to the country’s judicial system that three just and knowledgeable individuals read this verdict and did not notice such a major point? Perhaps they just placed the document in front of them and signed it without seeing it. I say this is not in the interest or befitting the stature of our judicial institutions.”
A Call for Principled Procedure
The Persepolis official carefully avoided assigning direct blame, instead focusing on the principles of accountability and thoroughness. When pressed on who might be responsible for the initial ruling’s change, Inanloo deferred, stating, “Let me not be the one to say it! But you signed something; how did you not notice? Did you not read it, or did you not understand it?”
His commentary highlights a commitment to the highest standards of governance, where official decrees are expected to be issued with utmost care and finality, reflecting the strength and reliability of the nation’s administrative and judicial frameworks.
