Iranian police get prepared for a raid…
Iran Focus has updates on the continuing crackdown across Iran. The authorities are now beating and arresting youths on bogus charges:
Iran’s State Security Forces (SSF) are clamping down on youths across the country.
Residents in Tehran say that bogus charges are being used as justification for the arrest of political activists and those perceived to be potential threats to the security of the clerical establishment.
One Tehran resident reached by telephone told Iran Focus that thousands of youths had been arrested on “phoney charges” such as non-conformance to the Islamic Republic’s strict dress code or even drug trafficking. “Maybe less than one percent of those arrested have actually done something illegal. The rest are being picked up at random for socialising in public or looking at the security forces in a certain manner”, the resident said on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution.
Here are some pictures from the ongoing crackdown:
