伊朗稱蘇非派示威者與警方衝突5人喪生

Iranian officials say at least five members of the country’s security forces were killed and more than 300 people arrested during clashes between Sufi protesters and police in the capital, Tehran.

Broadcast video appeared to show the moment a bus ploughed into a group of police officers, killing three of them.

Members of Iran's Gonabadi Sufi order, known as dervishes, were protesting the arrest of members of the sect.

Sufism is a mystical strain of Islam characterized by an inward search for God and the rejection of materialism.

There are no official statistics on the size of the Sufi population in Iran, which is subject to continued scrutiny and harassment because the Iranian government views them as heretics.伊朗官員說，在首都德黑蘭蘇菲派穆斯林和警察的衝突中，至少5名保安部隊成員被打死，300多人被逮捕。

播出的視頻顯示，一輛大巴衝到一些警察中，撞死3人。

伊朗的蘇菲派人士抗議他們的一些成員被逮捕。

伊斯蘭蘇菲派，又稱德爾維希，追求精神層面的提升，摒棄物質主義。

伊朗人口中蘇菲派的數量沒有確切統計。蘇菲派一直受到騷擾，因爲伊朗政府視其爲異教。
