It has been reported that a large number of security forces and plain-clothes by creating conflict try to rush into the dervishes’s houses .

According to Majzooban reporter, this morning on 25th Day 1391 (Jan 15, 2013)some plain-clothes without a warrant entered into the house of Mr. Saffarian and tried to open scaffolds that were installed in the yard as weather protection during worship times. Two households demanded the warrant and stood against the officers but they were arrested by plainclothes and taken to an unknown place then a team was sent there to fire the tents mounted on scaffolds and also some loaders were taken there.

Dervishes by gathering in front of worship-place of Gonabadi dervishes in Shahrekord have tried to prevent the destruction of this religious place till now.

Thousands of security forces have surrounded the dervishes and blocked all roads leading to the worship-place and also two bulldozers and fire trucks and police cars are there now.
