Salavati's Consent Required for Sending Dervishes to Hospital

Majzooban Noor - Judge Salavati is trying to prevent ill dervishes from transfer to medical centers.

According to Majzooban Noor, as an illegal action, Judge Salavati has stated that, transfer of imprisoned Dervishes in Ward 350 of Evin prison to the treatment centers is only permitted provided that the permit is issued by the Ministry of Information.

Despite the doctor's orders for follow-up medical care of jailed Dervishes in specialized institutions under medical management outside prison, which by the command of Khodabakhshi, Tehran's deputy prosecutor and Evin prison supervisor/assistant prosecutor had been ready, but judge Abolghasem Salavati, who is responsible for Gonabadi Dervishes's case in Tehran's Revolutionary Court, in an unlawful interference proceeding, that is exactly out of his jurisdiction, through a written command for the deputy judiciary of prison Evin, has announced that sending dervishes out side prison for treatment depends on recognition and coordinate with Intelligence Ministry and needs to obtain a permit from Intelligence Ministry too.

According to the physicians, due to the physical condition of two jailed Dervishes, Hamid Reza Moradi and Mostafa Daneshjou who suffer from cardiovascular and arteriosclerotic vascular diseases and severe asthma, they should be immediately transferred to specialized treatment centers.

It is notable that, seven Gonabadi dervishes's lawyers and Majzooban Noor's managers (Messrs. Hamid Reza Moradi Sarvestani, Amir Eslami, Mostafa Daneshjou, Farshid Yadollahi, Afshin Karampour, Omid Behroozi and Reza Entesari) who were being held in the basement cells of the Section 209 of Evin prisonis (where is the detention center for Iran's prisoners of conscience), under order from judge Salavati, because of refusing to participate in court due to illegal process hearing, endured inhumane conditions of security Ward 209 despite their serious illnesses for almost 3 months ( from Jan 15, 2013 to May 14, 2013) in which the solitary confinement conditions have exacerbated their problems.
