The Dervishes were arrested during the Golestan seventh incident with severe beating and were denied all legal rights and access to a lawyer and fair trial during interrogation and trial process.
Also, in another news quoted from Majdoban Noor, four detained dervishes in Tehran’s Grand Prison, Kasra Nouri, Saleh Moradi, Reza and Sina Entesari, refused to attend the trial in the Revolutionary Court.
The Dervishes who were arrested during the 7th Golestan incident and were tortured and physically abused by batons, were charged in the indictment issued for Gonabadi Dervishes, as well as the ideological questions of the judges of the Revolutionary Court as an inquisition. Therefore, the presence of the court Refused.
The Dervishes also objected to the detainee’s detention of the attorney’s right as a reason for not attending the trial and objected to the lack of due process in the Dervish case.
These four Dervishes, are part of the detained darvishes that started sit-in protest in prison two weeks ago in protest the widespread violation of Dervish’s rights.
