With due respect;

We, Gonabadi dervishes who are being suppressed in these area and time, feel it necessary to announce our last warning to all of authorities who are responsible for securing the country and our nation, before any major incidents that are going to happen.

This letter is being written as a two days deadline in order to evacuate a house of one Gonabadi dervish in Shahrekord which is a worship-place and is under attack by security forces who are suppose to guard the borders of our homeland but instead are queuing up against our house with their destructive machines.

This recent repetitive story is that the town council is used the scaffolding for an excuse or pretext in order to destruct the worship-place of dervishes.

Due to an official letter from the town council expert the scaffolding are not a breach of law.

Even as an absurdity, if this was a breach of construction law, does it imply that the attack taken place on someone’s home and destroying there private properties?

Does this really imply that for taking the scaffolding down, should they use bulldozers and excavator? Do they need to close roads and deploy the army?

Should it not remind us that, by convening the provincial security meeting in order to demolish the worship-places of Gonabadi dervishes and to remind the bitter memories of destruction of Qom, Borojerd, Charmehin and Isfahan Hosseiniyeh (Worship-place)?

These bitter memories of destructions will never be deleted from the dervishes thoughts as the demolition the house of Imam Hossein (AS) will never be forgotten which was done by the authorities who believed that they are governors of Islam and Shiites.

Us, Gonabadi dervishes are deeply fearful of these repetitive disastrous incidents and as we are dervish in our belief, we oppose any tension and clashes to be created as we believe in peace, We are neither aware of the reason and causes that these attackers have in their minds nor do we know them. Therefore due to this letter, we request our rights and security of citizenship by law to be able to do and offer our daily prayers before God. This can only be fulfilled by your right decisions and management.

We will not leave this place until we absolutely sure that the destruction would not happen. The consequences of such disaster if it happens will not be the responsibility of us dervishes.
