در این پیام، به بهره‌وری و خدمات برجسته نیری اشاره شده است. متن پیام می‌افزاید: این شخصیت انقلابی و ارزشمند، در طول آ being corrected years, has been actively defending justice and relentlessly fighting for the rights of the oppressed. He was prominent in several high-ranking judicial positions, including the presidency of the Special Court for the Clergy, the presidency of the Supreme Disciplinary Court for Judges, and as an advisor to the Head of the Judiciary, where he left an indelible mark through his beneficial and lasting services.

Regarding the terrorist incident involving judges Ali Razine and Mohammad Moghisseh on Saturday, January 18, 2024 (29th of Dey, 1403), there were rumors suggesting Qazi Niri’s martyrdom, which were denied by the judiciary. According to the Judiciary’s media center, Qazi Niri was neither present at the scene of the attack nor in the Supreme Court at the time.

Niri began his judicial career in the early 1980s in the Revolutionary Courts and became one of the notable judges of that era. In 1983, by the order of the founder of the Islamic Republic, he was appointed as the Islamic jurist of Evin Prison. During this period, Revolutionary Courts were responsible for cases related to political opposition and security breaches, and Niri played a role in reviewing and issuing verdicts on some of these cases, which often led to severe sentences.

In 1988, following the developments of the Iran-Iraq War and the activities of some opposition groups, a committee was formed to review the status of some prisoners. Niri was a member of this committee, tasked with evaluating the conditions of incarcerated individuals and determining their final sentences.

After the war, with a focus on combating economic crimes, Niri, by the order of the Supreme Leader, became responsible for cases related to unearned wealth, usury, bribery, monopoly, and embezzlement of public funds as per Article 49 of the Constitution. He presided over the special courts handling these cases.

In subsequent years, Niri also served on the Supreme Judicial Council and as the president of the Supreme Disciplinary Court for Judges. He was a key figure in the judiciary, contributing significantly both theoretically and practically to the judicial system.
