On 10 June 2004, the Special Rapporteur sent another communication in connection with the building over the grave of Quddus (see above), which in the interim had reportedly been completely levelled. Despite attempts to protect the site, it was reported that the demolition of the rest of the structure had continued gradually and quietly, in a manner designed not to attract attention. Subsequently, the Bahá'ís were allegedly prevented from retrieving the remains of Quddus. The Bahá'ís in Babul reportedly approached the local clergy, who directed them to the local prosecutor, who referred them to the Ministry of Information, which refused to issue the necessary permission. 138. On 14 June 2004, the Special Rapporteur sent a communication in relation to information according to which on 23 May 2004, the Iranian police arrested Khosroo Yusefi, a Protestant pastor, along with his wife Nasrin and two teenage children, an 18-year-old son and a daughter aged 15. The arrests allegedly took place in Chalous, a town on the Caspian Sea coast in northern Iran. The family reportedly remained imprisoned without known charges. Reportedly, dozens of members from two of Pastor Yusefi’s church groups were jailed in the first week of May and later released. However, the arrest of 23 May allegedly marked the first time that the entire family of a Christian leader had been taken into custody. 139. By letter dated 21 December 2004, the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran responded that, according to the information received from the judiciary of the Islamic Republic of Iran, no record had been found of Mr. Khosroo Yusefi and his family. 140. On 20 October 2004, the Special Rapporteur, jointly with the Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, the Special Rapporteur on the question of torture and the Special Rapporteur on violence against women, its causes and consequences transmitted an urgent appeal to the Government regarding J.I., aged 13, who was reportedly sentenced to death by stoning in Marivan for adultery and was at risk of imminent execution. According to the information received, she was raped by her 15-year-old brother and became pregnant. She gave birth to her baby about two weeks before the urgent appeal was sent. It was reported that J.I. would not have the possibility to appeal the sentence, which was said to be carried out in the following days. Her brother was sentenced to 100 lashes, in accordance with Islamic laws. He was in prison in Tehran awaiting his punishment. 141. On 3 November 2004, the Special Rapporteur transmitted a communication to the Government regarding Hamid Pourmand, a lay pastor in the Assemblies of God Church, and 85 other Evangelical Church leaders who were arrested during a meeting in the city of Karaj on 9 September 2004. It was reported that 76 of those arrested were released the same day and 10 pastors were kept for interrogation about other Christian leaders for three more days. The nine colleagues of Hamid Pourmand who were released were warned that they should expect to be summoned again in a few weeks for more questioning. When Hamid Pourmand’s family returned to their residence after a stay in Tehran, they discovered that their home had been broken into and ransacked, with all of the family’s papers, documents and photographs removed. Iranian authorities had refused to give any reason for the arrest and prolonged detention of Hamid Pourmand.
