Tasua, Ashura mourning ceremonies for Imam Hussein and his companions who were martyred in Karbala was held with great magnificence in Soltani Shrine in Beidokht in the presence of many Gonabadi Dervishes.
According to Majzooban Noor, reports from Beidokht indicate that the residents of the city along with Dervishes held Tasua, Ashura mourning ceremonies in the morning and Sham e Ghariban” in the evening in the place of worship and courtyard of the Soltani Shrine.
It is worth mentioning that regional health organization officials prohibited to slaughter any animal sacrifice there before the ceremony and announced that as unsanitary act (!). Although, during these times of Muharram, according to Islamic tradition, sacrificing animals and feeding the people is common in Iran!
Forthermore, the above organization, under order from intelligence agency suddenly had announced that the cemetery connected to the Soltani Shrine (Mazare Soltani) is closed and the burial of the dead is illegal here.
Due to the overcrowding of pilgrims at Beidokht, the existing capacity was not accountable to the population so many are forced to set up a tent in the courtyard of Soltani Shrine in the cold weather.
The grand trustee of Soltani Shrine has already purchased a land to build a pilgrim-house (Zaer saraa) but unfortunately Beidokht municipality refuses to grant construction permits for a pilgrim-house (named as Zaer saraa) due to pressure exerted by religion’s regressive on Iran’s security bodies.
It should be also reminded that, furthermore, contrary to Principles and rules(!) the Executive Committee of the Imam Khomeini by reffering to Article 49 of the Constitution, has attempted to confiscate 10 counts of the assets and properties in Beidokht and was trying to issues forceful ruling in absentia by the Mashhad Revolutionary Court successor of the Court Article 49, regarding the confiscation of the mentioned properties.
