The news site "Majzooban Noor" has reported the "sudden death" of Mohammad Ishaq Abadi, one of the Gonabadi dervishes, in Tehran Central Prison. This site, which covers news related to Gonabadi dervishes, quoted Mr. Ishaq Abadi's family as saying that during a visit on Sunday, November 23, he informed them that "prison officials forcibly take him to the medical facility three times a day and inject him with medication." Majzooban Noor added that two days after this visit, the Tehran Central Prison informed Mohammad Ishaq Abadi's family to go to the forensic medicine department to collect his body. The report stated that the body of this Gonabadi dervish was buried on Friday, November 28, in Behesht Zahra cemetery in Tehran. The Majzooban Noor site referred to Mr. Gonabadi as one of the "martyr brothers" and added that in 2013, he was imprisoned for six months in Ward 350 of Evin Prison on charges of propaganda against the Islamic Republic. The "Nematollahi Sultan Ali Shah Gonabadi Order," whose followers are commonly known as Gonabadi dervishes, is a Sufi order that adheres to the principles of Twelver Shia Islam. Despite this, certain beliefs of the followers of this order have led the Islamic Republic to severely suppress them in recent years. During this time, several of their prayer houses have been destroyed, and hundreds of dervishes have been arrested and imprisoned. The suppression of dervishes in Iran has also faced protests from international organizations. In this context, "Reporters Without Borders" expressed concern about the health of imprisoned dervishes, and there have been calls for the release of imprisoned dervishes in Iran.
