Farhad Nouri

On last Saturday, 7th Mordad 1391 ( Jul 28 , 2012 ) seventeen Gonabadi dervishes from Kavar county were summoned to Criminal Branch of Shiraz’s Revolutionary Court and faced with new charges.According to the judge, Mr.Kheshti’s verdict, all dervishes who their cases are handled on Saturday , have not done any wrong action and were acquitted of all charges but prosecutor and information security officials which used to force on the judiciary did not confirm the sentences.

It seems that, they are planing to accuse Gonabadi dervishes to three new charges including ” Moharebeh (Enmity against God )” “corruption agents on earth” and “join the Perverted groups”!

It is important to note that, Dervishes are Shiite and have mystical beliefs, but they are not a member of any groups and they do not have any political activity or no intention of activity against regime and the basis of friary and being Dervish is just “peace and friendship” and no one knows about the resoan of this pressures and harassment on Gonabadi dervishes.

From long ago, pressure has been inflicted on Gonabadi dervishes, so some of them are incarcerated in prison, and many of them , without receiving written summons have been tried.

Also the court date of seven Gonabadi dervishes , Messrs. Hamid Reza Moradi Sarvestani (who is suffering from a severe heart problem and clogging of the leg arteries), Amir Eslami, Mostafa Daneshjou, Farshid Yadollahi, Afshin Karampour, Omid Behroozi and Reza Entesari, that have been still held in wards 209 and 350 of Evin prison from last Shahrivar (September), is unclear yet.

Gonabadi Dervishes, Messrs. Saleh Moradi Sarvestani, Kasra Nouri and Mohammad Ali Shamshirzan, are held as “temporary detention”, in Shiraz Adel Abad prison for more than 11 months and their status is not clear yet too.

It should be noted that, according to the law: “If after 2 months, due to provisional remedy, the accused is still in custody and his case has not been submitted to the court for final decision, the legal authority is obliged to cancel the arrest or give a discount (mitigation), otherwise, if there is a justified reason for the detention, so it must be mentioned and detention to be extended.
