Imprisoned Gonabadi Dervish, Kasra Nouri who is being held in Shiraz AdelAbad prison is no more visitations allowed and his status is still unknown.
According to Majzooban Noor, eleven days ago AdelAbad prison guards transferred Kasra Nouri into solitary confinement with no explanation and he is currently confined in section Ebrat ( the ward of prisoners of conscience and other minority religions) and has been denied visitation rights and telephone contact with his family.
According to the report, the order of transfer of this Gonabadi Dervish from section Green into solitary confinement and then to section Ebrat has been issued by Mr. Moussa Tabar (Deputy Attorney General) with no explanation.
It is important to say that, Gonabadi dervish, Kasra Nouri, has been arrested by security forces twice. Once he arrested on the morning of Wednesday 21 Dey ( Jan 11 , 2012 ) and after being held in Shiraz Intelligence Office’s Detention Center and Adel Abad prison for 46 days, was released on bail of 50 million. On 24th Esfand, 1390 ( Mar 14 , 2012 ) he was again arrested on the charge of interviews with foreign media Radio Farda. And so far he has spent 17 months in custody. He was sentenced at Branch 3 of Shiraz’s Revolutionary Court presided over by Judge Rashidi to four years and four months imprisonment on charges of propaganda against the regime, acting against national security, insulting the leadership and belonging to a deviant group “Majzooban Noor”. His case is now on appeal process.
It is notable that, Kasra Nouri and one other Dervish, Saleh Moradi had been protesting with a hunger strike against the illegal transfer of their Dervish lawyers to solitary confinement in Evin prison for 90 days and after their demands are met, they ended their prolong-term hunger strike.
