 Tehran, Iran, Nov. 14 – More
than a hundred people have been arrested in the province of north-western
province of Ardebil for “disturbing the peace”
and “causing trouble”, Iran’s state-run press reported on Monday.
Barat Aramesh, a
State Security Forces (SSF) commander in the province, was quoted as
saying that 87 individuals among those arrested would be tried by a
special court set-up as part of the “Plan to Combat Trouble-makers”.
One media report said that Iran’s judiciary, SSF,
Revolutionary Guards, the Bassij force, and the
Ministry of Intelligence and Security - the notorious secret police – had
been coordinating their efforts to step up arrests of “trouble-makers”.
Iranian officials often refer to millions of unemployed young men, who
are largely beset by frustration and despair, as “trouble-makers”.
