The Families of imprisoned Dervishes announced that, the Ministry of Information has asked them to declare: “All detained dervishes in Tehran’s Evin and Shiraz’s Adel Abad prison are not Dervishes (!) and not related to Nematollahi Gonabadi order and would act independently!”
According to Majzooban Noor, in an interview with “Raha News”, the wife of Saleh Moradi, Ms. Khalili,
explained about the latest situation of Saleh Moradi and Kasra Nouri who had been on wet hunger strike for 69 days, and since the first day of Farvardin/March 21 they have gone on dry hunger strike. She told Raha News that, the Ministry of Information through contact with defender lawyers of jailed Dervishes has asked the families to declare that all imprisoned dervishes in Tehran’s Evin and Shiraz’s Adel Abad prison are not at all Dervishes (!) and they have nothing to do with Nematollahi Gonabadi Dervishes and would act independently.
It is remarkable that, currently, 11 Dervishes’s lawyers and managers of Majzooban Noor website are behind bars in Evin and Adel Abad prisons and one of the allegations against them is “membership and cooperation with Majzooban Noor website (Nematollahi Gonabadi Order News Site) and also defending dervishes rights!”
It should be reminded that Dervishes’s lawyers and Majzooban Noor website’s managers, Messrs. Hamid Reza Moradi, Mostafa Daneshjou, Amir Eslami, Farshid Yadollahi, Afshin Karampour and Reza Entesari after enduring 18 months of temporary detention in Tehran’s Evin prison have been put in the basement cells of the Section 209 of Evin prison since 26th of Day 1391 ( Jan 15, 2013) under order from judge Salavati and are deprived of their basic rights (such as Daily recess, Telephone, Correspondence and even the prison medical service) …
Two Gonabadi Dervishes, Ali Reza Roushan and Mostafa Abdi are also being held in Ward 350 of Evin prison.
Saleh Moradi and Kasra Nouri, two other Gonabadi dervishes who are behind bars for more than 19 months in Shiraz’s Adel Abad prison , have lunched a hunger strike to protest illegal transfer of seven Gonabadi dervishes’s lawyers to solitary confinement under order of judge Salavati and Iranian Ministry of Information since 27th of Dey 1391 ( Jan 15, 2013).
