This evening (February 19th), repressive forces attacked with tear gas, batons and gunfire a group of Gonabadi Dervishes who had gathered outside the police station in Pasdaran Ave. According to reports, a number of protesters were injured and some were arrested. They had gathered since this morning in protest at arresting one of the Dervishes and demanded his release.
