According to the information received, on 13 February 2006, a peaceful protest was violently suppressed by the security forces and members of the Hojatieh and Fatemiyon pro-government groups. The protest was being held against an order by the security forces to evacuate the community's place of worship, known as Hosseiniye. The 173 individuals were reportedly interrogated at Fajr prison in Qom and there were concerns that they were tortured in order to force them to sign pre-prepared false confessions, stating that the protest had political motivations and was linked to anti-government groups. Lawyer Bahman Nazari was reportedly arrested when he approached officials in an attempt to represent the detainees. Arrest warrants were reportedly issued for the main Sufi preacher in Qom, Seyed Ahmadi Shariati and the four lawyers who had previously been acting on behalf of the group.
