少数宗教集団ゴーナバディ・ダーヴィッシュの信者ベフナム・マフジュビさんは、不当な裁判で収監されたうえ、パニック障害を抱えているにもかかわらず、専門家による治療を受けられないなどの不当な扱いを受けている。平和裏に行われた抗議活動に参加しただけで実刑2年を言い渡され服役している良心の囚人（良心に基づく信念、信仰や人種、性的指向などを理由に不当に拘束されている人）だ。
マフジュビさんは2018年4月、2カ月前にあったゴーナバディ・ダーヴィッシュの抗議活動に参加して逮捕された。勾留中、殴打され、24時間ずっと灯がついたままの独居房に入れられ、弁護人の立ち合いなしで尋問された。ゴーナバディ・ダーヴィッシュの活動や他の信者の名前などについて聞かれ、供述書への署名を強制された。2019年8月、不公正な裁判で騒乱罪で2年の実刑と2年間の社会的、政治的団体との関係禁止との判決が出た。2018年5月末に保釈されていたが、2020年6月20日に再収監され、服役を開始した。
マフジュビさんは、重度のパニック障害を抱えており、専門医が処方した薬を服用する必要がある。情報筋によると、掛かりつけの精神科医も当局の医者も、マフジュビさんは収監に耐えられないと判断している。にもかかわらず、当局は保釈を認めない。それどころか、暴力を加えたり、薬を与えず、数回に渡りマフジュビさんを無理やり精神病院に連れて行き、無理やり化学物質の注射を受けさせるなどの虐待をしている。9月には、刑務所内の医師から、パニック障害を抑えるためとみられる睡眠薬を飲まされ、その後、発作と体の一部の麻痺が起きた。それ以来、健康状態は、著しく悪化している。身体の左側の一部が麻痺し左手が震え、手助けなしに歩行することができない。マフジュビさんは、収監や拘束中の処遇、専門医による発作や麻痺の治療を受けられないことなどに抗議して、何度かハンガーストライキをしてきた。
ゴーナバディ・ダーヴィッシュは、イランで最も大きいスーフィー（コーラン読誦などの修行実践を通して、神への接近を求めるイスラム神秘主義）教団で、自らをイスラム教シーア派と呼ぶ。同宗教集団によると、スーフィズムは宗教でも宗派でもなく、どの宗教の信者でも神の存在を見ることができる生き方だという。当局は長年、その教義を理由にゴーナバディ・ダーヴィッシュを差別し、嫌がらせをし、不当な逮捕や拘留、収監やむち打ち刑、教会の取り壊しなどの迫害を行なってきた。

要請文
Head of judiciary, Ebrahim Raisi
C/o Permanent Mission of Iran to the UN
Chemin du Petit-Saconnex 28, 1209 Geneva, Switzerland
Dear Mr Raisi,
Behnam Mahjoubi, from Iran’s largest Sufi order, the Gonabadi Dervish religious minority, has been held in Evin prison since 20 June 2020. He is a prisoner of conscience jailed solely for the exercise of his rights to freedom of expression, association and peaceful assembly. He suffers from a serious panic disorder for which he needs daily medication prescribed by a doctor outside prison. According to informed sources, his psychiatrist outside prison has assessed him as being unable to withstand imprisonment and doctors from the Legal Medicine Organization, a state forensic institute, have also confirmed in writing after examining him that he is not fit for imprisonment. Despite this, the authorities have refused to release him. Instead, according to informed sources, they have subjected him to torture and other ill-treatment by periodically denying him access to his medication and forcibly taking him to a psychiatric hospital on multiple occasions where he has been injected with chemical substances against his will and without information about what he has been administered. In September 2020, the prison clinic’s doctor pressured him to take sleeping tablets apparently to control his panic disorder, after which he suffered seizures and partial paralysis. Since then, his health has seriously declined. The left side of his body is partially paralysed, his left hand trembles and he is unable to walk without help. He has gone on several hunger strikes in protest at his imprisonment, treatment in detention, denial of access to specialist medical care outside prison for his seizures and paralysis and the periodic withholding of medication.
Behnam Mahjoubi was arrested in April 2018 in connection with peaceful protests that took place in February 2018 by Gonabadi Dervishes in Tehran, which were violently quashed by security forces and resulted in the arrest of hundreds of men and women. Following his arrest by around 20 plain clothes security agents, Behnam Mahjoubi was held for a week in Esfahan and a further 22 days in Kerman. In both detention facilities, he was beaten, held in solitary confinement with lights on for 24 hours a day and interrogated without a lawyer present. His interrogators questioned him about the activities of Gonabadi Dervishes, told him to provide the names of all the Gonabadi Dervishes he knows, and forced him to sign “confessions”. On 9 August 2019, following an unfair trial before Branch 26 of the Revolutionary Court in Tehran, which used his forced “confessions” as admissible evidence, he was convicted of “gathering and colluding to commit crimes against national security” and sentenced to two years in prison and a two-year ban on involvement in social and political groups. He was released on bail on 29 May 2018 and was summoned to begin serving his prison sentence on 20 June 2020.
I urge you to release Behnam Mahjoubi immediately and unconditionally as he is a prisoner of conscience, jailed solely for peacefully exercising his rights. Pending his release, ensure that he is given the specialized medical care he needs, in compliance with medical ethics, including the principles of confidentiality, autonomy and informed consent, and that he is protected from further torture and other ill-treatment. Please ensure that he has access to his family and lawyer of his choosing.
Yours sincerely,
