Also they had a rally on Saturday and Sunday in front of the Tehran’s Prosecutor office. Although their protest was confronted by violent reactions of the security and special guard forces, they are still waiting for authorities to fulfill their promises
Thousands of dervishes have expressed solidarity with the prisoners, staging in a sit-in in front of the prosecutor’s office in Tehran and announcing that they too are going on hunger strike
In the last few days, more than 2000 Gonabadi Dervishes participated in “the campaign to protect jailed Dervishes” asking prisoners to end their hunger strike. Also A large number of Gonabadi Dervishes from Iran’s Provinces such as Khuzestan, Hormozghan, Boushehr, Lorestan, Markazi and Chahar Mahaal and Bakhtiari, in a letter addressed to the Jailed Dervishes, urged them to break hunger strike in order to save their lives. Many Dervishes from other orders also joined the hunger strike in support of imprisoned Dervishes
There has been a considerable support from various orders of Dervishes in Iran and India including the Qadiriyah, the Chishti, the Naqshabandiya and Syattariyah Orders
