With continuing the prohibition of travel for women from Baidokht to Tehran, in another series of these violations two days ago, a group of women dervishes who were heading to Tehran were prevented and told that, dervishes would not be allowed to leave the city of Baidokht.
According to Majzooban Noor, a few hours before heading to Tehran, in afternoon, the Information officials summoned Mr. Amanian, the driver of the vehicle (bus) and by intimidating him warned him not to take the dervishes to Tehran.
The respective officials without any written warrant mentioned that dervishes of this region would not have right to leave the city of Baidokht until further notice.
The driver of the mentioned vehicle who himself is a dervish, had been threatened that his passenger transport notebook would be annulled if he continued to displace dervishes in a large scale, but this driver in response to them mentioned that his profession is to displace travelers and passengers; so, did not pay attention to their threat.
This report also says that Ali-Mohammad Talebnejad one of the officials of Soltani holy shrine of Baidokht, has been summoned to the Information Center of Baidokht, and then was interrogated by a figure named Amini.
It should be noted that the Website of Majzooban Noor last week had reported of the illegal prevention of women dervishes heading to Tehran on the bus from Baidokht to Tehran by the officials, and after several hours of delay, inspection and interrogation without a judicial warrant finally the women dervishes were told that this order had been issued by the prosecutor of Gonabad via phone, and then made the women dervishes return to Baidokht.
However, these dervishes after return to the city, and by referring to the judicial center, Mr. Zeinali the prosecutor of Gonabad mentioned that he was not actually aware of such a command; so that, it shows that all these violations and preventions are performed without any judicial fiat and authorization.
Said that after the gathering of dervishes in front of the judicial center and Department of Justice in the form of migration campaign of dervishes to the Evin prison, a new wave of security pressures along with intimidation has been started; so that, in addition to the sensitivity to the group travels of dervishes, frequent summons by telephone and SMS from different cities; such as, Bandar Abbas, Tehran, Dooroud and Ilam have been reported as well.
