Hearing Held for Lawyers Amin Eslami and Farshid Yadollahi



The 6 month prison sentence for libel and disturbing public opinion of the two was reviewed once again during the trial in the presence of their lawyers. The defendants were not in court.
In February, 388 attorneys wrote a letter to the head of the judiciary and objected to the imprisonment sentence and the revocation of the licenses of the attorneys for Gonabadi dervishes.
Recently 11 members of the dervish related website Majzoobaneh Nour and 5 of their lawyers have been arrested. Amin Eslami and Farshid Yadollahi, Hamid Moradi, Omid Behrouzi, Afshin Karampour, Reza Entezari and Mostafa Daneshjou are held in the security ward of Evin Prison.
Another incarcerated dervish Mehrdad Keshavarz is being held in the Intelligence Ministry Detention Center of Shiraz.
