My name is Amir, a refugee from Iran, a member of a Sufi group in Iran, named Gonabadi Dervish, a Gonabadi Dervish activist in defense of civil rights, in a country where even the law does not look like justice, a country that neither respects international law nor the rights of ethnic, religious and ideological minorities, a country where dissidents are imprisoned, tortured and executed and sometimes assassinated in other countries. I have been a human rights activist in Iran from 2005 to 2018. I was a dervish and now I continue to defend myself outside of Iran. During my time in Iran, I was arrested and imprisoned more than eight times, flogged, tortured and forced to stay in places with limited facilities in Iran. In 2018, after a brutal crackdown in the Iranian capital, we were severely beaten by Iranian security forces and police in a place called Golestan 7, and about 400 male and female Sufis were arrested. I was hospitalized and then I was brought to the torture chamber of Shapur Mint, where I was severely tortured and sent for forced confessions. After being tortured, I was taken to the hospital again, and on my way back from the hospital, I was rescued from the police by my friends and I left the country illegally. After that I came to Bosnia on foot, where I have been for more than 23 months and I have been applying for asylum for 22 months. I am in a state of severe mental problems and under the care of a psychologist and a psychiatrist. I had an accident a year and 8 months ago in Croatia. I have been using a wheelchair ever since. My case has not been processed yet. My wife and four children (three daughters and a son), all of whom are minors, are in Iran and under a lot of pressure from the Iranian government. I fell into a precipice in the darkness of the night in Croatia a year and 8 months ago. Others helped me, the police found me and took me to the hospital, but a day later my back was broken. I had applied for asylum and could not move on my feet. All my belongings, such as my mobile phone and my inhaler have been taken from me, and even my clothes. In the melancholy of my eyes, the other migrants were severely beaten and everyone fled, and I was left alone in the forest and the police left me and left. It gets worse and I take about twelve pills a day. And I am in a bad mood as a result of the torture in Iran, worrying about my family, seeing the torture of others and the brutal deportation of the Croatian police and my immigration case not being handed.
