The Gonabadi Dervishes residing in the city of Bandar Abbas, gathered in front of Hormozgan Province’s Intelligence office this morning on Saturday, 31 Farvardin 1392 ( April 20, 2013).
According to Majzooban Noor, this morning, after the arrest of Abdolghafour Ghalandari Nejad, one of the collaborators of Majzooban Noor website, his family along with more than 60 Gonabadi Dervishes gathered in front of Hormozgan Province’s Intelligence office and called for authorities accountability about his accusations and situation.
His family, by expressing their concerns over the whereabouts and health status of him, said to the security guards: “Because, there is the possibility of transferring him to the FETA (Iran’s cyber police) police and according to the unreliable background of FETA detention center and also due to the lack of authorities’ accountability , we would not leave the gathering until to get assured of his health condition. After a while that his family had raised concerns and insisted on their demands, Ghalandari called her mother’s cell phone from an unknown location and said that he is fine but does not any information about his whereabouts and accusations and that is being interrogated now. After that, one of the security guards said to the family of this Gonabadi Dervish: “His dossier will be completed in the next days and the charges will be specified. You may also have opportunity to visit him.”
After his phone call with his family and security cooperation, the crowd of Dervishes were dispersed from the front of Bandar Abbas’s Intelligence office building but announced that if on the next day, the situation of this Gonabadi Dervish is not clear, they will gather in that place again.
