Judiciary Official Praise High Security in Iran
TEHRAN, May 3 (FNA)- Deputy head of the Iranian Judiciary said despite the threats posed to the country by terrorists and drug-traffickers, security has increased in Iran.
"Despite the drug-related insecurities caused by drug-traffickers in the country's eastern regions and the other threats existing at our border regions, security in the Islamic Iran is much higher than before thanks to the wisdom and follow-ups of the Iranian officials," First Deputy Head of the Judiciary Ebrahim Raeesi told reporters in Iran's central city of Shiraz on Monday evening.
Today Iran's judiciary establishment and Iranian judges are seriously and decisively dealing with drug-traffickers, outlaws and those who undermine public security, Raeesi added.
Late in April, Iranian Deputy Interior Minister for Security and Law Enforcement Affairs Ali Abdollahi said that the Islamic Republic of Iran has drawn a comprehensive plan to establish sustainable security along the country's borders.
Abdollahi said that the initial phases of the plan have already started, adding that the plan will greatly affect those residing at the borders politically, socially, economically and culturally.
Abdollahi underlined that implementation of the plan in Iran's Southeastern, Northwestern and Western border regions sets a priority for the ministry, and noted, "The plan will be implemented in all the border regions in a bid to prevent illegal border crossings, specially by terrorist groups and outlaws."
The official added that implementation of the plan would take five years.
Iran is on a crossroad of international drug transit route linking the world drug hub, Afghanistan, to the Persian Gulf and European countries.
Iran spends billions of dollars and has lost thousands of its police troops in the war against traffickers and terrorists. The crackdown has cost Iran more than 700 million dollars over the past two years. Last year, Iran allocated millions to strengthen border security and block the entry of terrorists and drug traffickers into the country.
Strategies pursued by Tehran include digging canals, building barriers and installing barbed wire to seal its borders.
