TEHRAN, July 27: Iranian judges are being forced to take calligraphy lessons to make their verdicts more readable, the head of Iran’s supreme calligraphy council, Hasan Gholampour told the Entekhab daily on Sunday.
“On the order of the chief of the judiciary (Ayatollah Mahmoud Shahrudi), all judges and other officials with important posts in the judiciary will have to take Nastaliq lessons,” he said, referring to Iran’s official style of calligraphy.
