DUBAI (Reuters) – Iranian authorities have arrested 14 foreigners over protests in Iran in recent weeks, the semi-official Fars news agency said on Wednesday.
“Investigations show that nationals of 14 countries, including the United States, Russia, Austria, France, the United Kingdom and Afghanistan were arrested during the recent riots in the country. Among them , the Afghans are the most numerous,” reports Fars.
The agency does not specify when the arrests took place. She does not say either if this figure takes into account the 9 arrests of Europeans announced on September 30 for their involvement in the demonstrations which have shaken Iran since the death of Mahsa Amini.
