Protest Gathering in Front of AdelAbad Prison

Majzooban Noor - This morning a number of Dervishes gathered in front of Shiraz's AdelAbad prison in protest to not getting any information about situation of four imprisoned Gonabadi Dervishes. After this gathering, Gonabadi Dervish, Kasra Nouri who is currently being held in AdelAbad prison was taken to an undisclosed location by the AdelAbad prison guards.

According to Majzooban Noor, this morning on 11 Khordad 1392 (June 1, 2013) more than 60 Gonabadi Dervishes from the cities of Kavar, Sarvestan and Shiraz gathered out side of AdelAbad prison to protest against transfer of the four Gonabadi Dervishes residents of Kavar town in Fars province who were moved from the Shiraz's intelligence office, known as "Pelak 100" ( No. 100) to the quarantine section of Adel Abad prison then were placed to solitary confinement in the basement cells of Shiraz's AdelAbad prison.

Some of the protester Dervishes on behalf of others talked to Mr. Ebrahimi ( Chief Deputy of prison) and Mr. Emjary (Deputy Warden of Security) and the two AdelAbad prison officials told the representative of Dervishes that four Gonabadi dervishes (Sayed Ebrahim Bahrami, Mohammad Ali Sadeghi, Mohammad Ali Dehghan and Mohsen Esmaeeli) have been sent to solitary confinement under order from judicial authorities and to follow-up on the status of them, the families and their lawyers should go to the branch 14 of Shiraz's Revolutionary court.

It is important to say that, after the crowd of Dervishes were dispersed, AdelAbad prison guards stormed the Ward where Kasra Nouri and Saleh Moradi are being held and transferred Kasra to an undisclosed location.

Already, Saleh Moradi and Kasra Nouri in a letter had urged the Fars province's department of justice to reconsider their unlawful decision and asked judicial authorities to immediately transfer back of four Dervishes to general Ward at AdelAbad prison and end harassment and oppression against Dervishes.
