Radio Farda is known for its critical stance on the Iranian government.

It has been over two months since the protest gathering of Gonabadi dervishes on Pasdaran Street in Tehran and the detention of dozens of them following clashes with security forces, yet there is still no news regarding the status of the detainees' cases. Reports indicate that more than 40 of these dervishes have suffered injuries or broken bones and do not have adequate access to medical facilities in prison. Shokufe Yadollahi is one of the 11 female dervishes who has suffered a skull fracture and is currently in Qarchak prison, while her three children are also detained. Additionally, this week's Daryacheh magazine reports on the detention of another dual-national citizen named Abbas Adalat in Iran, the poor health condition of Ahmadreza Jalali, a physician and imprisoned researcher in Iran, the arrest of journalist Amir Hossein Mir Asmaeili on charges of 'insulting the eighth Imam of Shia Muslims,' and news regarding some political and ideological prisoners in Iran.
