NCRI – Iranian security forces swooped on youths attending the Iran-Thailand football match in Tehran on October 15, arresting a group of girls disguised as boys to enter the stadium and beating three young men for having long hair and improper clothing.
The three male youths were released after a backlash from angry onlookers, but the young women were arrested and transferred to an unknown location.
Meanwhile, more security forces carried out body searches on spectators entering the stadium in a bid to intimidate the football fans.
Regime agents also arrested many youths chanting anti-regime slogans following the Iranian team’s victory on June 18 that marked its qualification for the 2014 World Cup.
