The health condition of three jailed Gonabadi Dervishes in Shiraz’s AdelAbad prison, due to intense interrogation and psychological torture in Intelligence Detention Centre, known as No.100 (Plaque 100/Pelak sad) is reportedly so dire and need immediately to be taken to hospital.
According to Majzooban Noor, three Gonabadi Dervishes (Sayed Ebrahim Bahrami, Mohammad Ali Dehghan and Mohsen Esmaeeli) residents of Kavar town in Fars province suffer from stomach bleeding, back pain and kidney pain. After being interrogated in Intelligence Detention Centre, known as No.100, they were put in solitary confinement, in the basement of AdelAbad Prison and were denied their visitation rights for a long time, then transferred to “Ebrat” ward of this prison where it was possible to visit. The families of jailed Dervishes expressed grave concern regarding their health condition. According to their families, they have not previously been associated with these such diseases and the problems are as a result of beating, pressure to confess and being put in solitary confinement in the basement of No. 100 of Adel Abad prison. Dervishes’ families have requested to transfer them to a hospital outside prison for treatment.
A family member of the above mentioned Dervishes told the Majzooban Noor: ” These Dervishes have been put under physical and psychological pressure and torture in No.100 (Plaque 100/Pelak sad). The pictures of their families were shown to them in order to create fear and panic and make prisoners confess. They have been treated harshly ,insulted, threatened with being hanged and even their beliefs and great masters of Nematollahi Gonabadi order have been insulted by prison officials.
It is notable that, last week on Thursday (Tir 6/ Jun 27) four Gonabadi Dervishes (Sayed Ebrahim Bahrami, Mohammad Ali Sadeghi, Mohammad Ali Dehghan and Mohsen Esmaeeli) without prior notice were suddenly transferred to Branch 14 of Shiraz’s Revolutionary Court. The hearing was held by magistrate judge Vaezi but their charges are still unclear and incomplete. According to the magistrate, the charges will be determined at the next court session. It is important to say that,
during interrogation process they had been formally charged with “acting against national security,” “disturbing public order,” “assault and battery,” “carrying illegal weapons” and “moharebeh or defying God”.
