The families of seven imprisoned Gonabadi Dervishes in Evin prison, who had gone there to visit jailed Dervishes and refused to leave the prison visiting room until they would be allowed to visit their loved ones, after 10 hours of waiting could meet them.
According to Majzooban Noor, yesterday morning on 18th Esfand 1391 (March 18 2013) the families of seven imprisoned Gonabadi Dervish lawyers and Majzooban Noor website’s managers in Evin prison, had gone to visiting room to meet with their imprisoned loved ones and despite having the permission from the Attorney-General to visit, prison authorities prevented them from visit and stated that, these Dervishes have been forbidden to visit under order from judge Salavati.

As the families considered this type of encounters illegal and without the rule of law, stated: “Even if all of us to get arrested, we will stay for allowing visit and shall not leave here until we meet our loved ones.”
At first, their action was faced with the arrival of the security forces who threatened all their family members with arrest but due to resistance by Jailed Gonabadi Dervishes’s families, finally at 8 pm they could visit detainees’ lawyers and Majzooban Noor’s managers.
The families of these seven imprisoned Gonabadi Dervishes told Majzooban Noor website about the status of their husbands and children that all are in good spirits although the physical situation of Hamid Moradi (who is suffering from chronic heart illness and also is in danger of amputation of his foot due to blood vessel obstruction) and Mostafa Daneshjou (who suffers from pulmonary disease and asthma and has lost 40% of his lungs) make us concerned.
It should be reminded that, Messrs. Hamid Reza Moradi, Mostafa Daneshjou, Amir Eslami, Farshid Yadollahi, Afshin Karampour and Reza Entesari have been held in Evin prison for more than 19 months and since 26th of Day 1391 ( Jan 15, 2013) under order from judge Salavati have been put in the basement cells of the Section 209 of Evin prison.
