Sufi attack
At least 173 members of the Nematollahi Sufi Muslim community are detained
incommunicado, reportedly at Fajr prison in the city of Qom, where it is feared
that they are being tortured, possibly in order to extract confessions.
The Nematollahi Sufi are Shia Muslims. Those detained were among 1,200
Nematollahi Sufis arrested on 13 February, when an apparently peaceful
demonstration against an order by the security forces to evacuate the
community's place of worship- known as a Hosseiniye- by 11 February was
violently suppressed by security forces and members of the Hojatieh and
Fatemiyon groups (organized pro-government groups).
