After suppressive forces invaded Golestan Ave. on February 3, a group of dervishes went there to defend. On Saturday and Sunday evening, the riot police and intelligence forces tried to disperse the people by attacking them and to prevent more people from joining them by blocking streets to the area, but dervishes resisted and stayed there. A number of dervishes from different cities joined Golestan Avenue gathering.
