According to a report by Kaleme, imprisoned Gonabadi Dervish in ward 350 of Evin prison, Ashin Karampour has been remained in critical condition since three days ago due to intensifying kidney pain and his lumbar spine problem. The prison authorities under order from Judge Salavati have prevented him from being transferred to hospital without prison uniform. Prisoners of conscience and political prisoners have raised concerns about this injustice.
The reports indicate that on last Monday 5th Esfand 1392 (Feb 24, 2013) other imprisoned Gonabadi Dervishes in ward 350 of Evin prison refused to go to the visiting room as a protest against prison officials obstruction of justice and then gathered behind the main door of the ward and demanded to eliminate obstacles for his transfer. The gathering ended after the Evin prison director Mr. Momeni, as intermediary promised to meet their demands. But on Tuesday after the return of jailed Dervish Afshin Karampour to the ward 350 it was clear that despite promises by authorities by an illegal action they had taken Afshin Karampour to a room in the prison infirmary and hid him from other prisoners by using of hypnotic analgesia and painkiller injections. So this ill prisoner was held incommunicado for more than a day in this room.

Following the transfer of Karampour to the section 350 in a wheelchair, a wave of indignation swept through political prisoners and by chanting “peace be upon zealous Dervishes” political prisoners joined their strike.
The latest news from Evin prison indicates that
imprisoned Dervishes have been threatened by Evin prison director “Momeni” that they will be transferred to solitary confinement.
