Regime acknowledges protests, arrests

ArchiveNCRI – The Iranian regime’s media outlets have acknowledged large protests by youths in Tehran as well as the widespread subsequent arrest of protestors.

The official state-run news agency of the clerical regime wrote, “The State Security Forces arrested some individuals across Tehran who sought to disrupt public peace and meant to provoke pedestrians.”

 State-run media outlets also wrote, “The presence of forces protecting order and safety in Tehran prevented a small number of disruptive elements to reach their goals.”

A number of Iranians contacted the main opposition satellite channel Simay-e Azadi and reported protests by youths and women in Tehran, pointing to the regime’s sensible trepidation and widespread arrests of youths.
