On the 3rd day of their campaign, more than 2,000 protesting dervishes gathered outside Iran’s Justice Dept. on Vali-e Asr Blvd in the Iranian capital city, Tehran calling on the regime judiciary to either release jailed dervishes who are on hunger strike or take all of them to jail next to their loved ones. They said what the regime does is arbitrary imprisonment of this minority group by viewing them as a security threat. They asked to be treated like normal citizens.
Imprisoned dervishes in Evin and Shiraz have been on hunger strike for 27 days now and say they would continue with their strike.
