A group of Gonabadi Dervishes, resident in Australia, has issued an open letter requesting Saleh Moradi and Kasra Nouri, to persuade them to protect their health and also to end their hunger strike.
A number of Gonabadi Dervishes living in Australia, by sending a letter to Majzooban Noor website( Nematollahi Gonabadi Order News Site) which in recognizes the dervishes’ sacrifices and commends their persistence and considering that is necessary to save lives , urge the two dervishes to end their strike.
Jailed Gonabadi Dervishes, Saleh Moradi and Kasra Nouri have gone on hunger strike since 80 days ago to protest the illegal and inhumane conditions of imprisonment of seven Gonabadi dervishes’s lawyers and Majzooban Noor website managers in solitary confinement of Evin prison in the past 80 days and lack of care for their critical health conditions. Hunger strikers required prison officials to transfer back their lawyers to the general ward of Evin Prison but unfortunately their simple demand has not been met yet .
It is notable that, Saleh Moradi and Kasra Nouri after 64 days of hunger strike on liquid diet, have started a dry hunger strike since Thursday Farvardin, 1, 1392( March 21). Now, Dervishes take regularly injections serum under order from the prison officials, but according to their families, in the first week of their dry hunger strike they were on the verge of death.

The following is the text of the letter sent by the Gonabadi Dervishes from Australia to Dervish hunger strikers:

We would appreciate your protest against illegal tranfer of Gonabadi Dervishes’s lawyers to solitary confinement. As we also defend your right to protest which is a sign of your love and the deep devotion to all that were oppressed of the injustice in society, especially those of your coterie and jailed peers.
