Islam does not allow such steps. Those who obtain confessions by force and torture have not recognized Islam well,\u201d he added more.<\/p>\n<p>Shaikh Abdol-Hamid further said: \u201cSome people abduct others and torture them to confess any crime or accept any debt; such confessions are inauthentic. Forced confession is refused in Islam and Islamic Shari\u2019ah does not accept such confessions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone in the Islamic Republic of Iran has to follow the Islamic directions. If any judge issues order of Ta\u2019zir for obtaining confession, his order is against Islamic directions and such confessions are inauthentic. We ask the officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran to stop such acts,\u201d he underlined.<\/p>\n<p>President of Darululoom Zahedan said: \u201cWe are human beings and we may commit mistake, but it is important to accept our mistakes and modify them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe new chief of justice has been making efforts to bring changes in the judiciary and fight against economic corruption. It is a good news and source of satisfaction.
