Thousands arrested in Iran

Several thousands have been arrested, since March 21st the beginning of the current Iranian New Year, in the rebellious province of Isfahan and hundreds of others in Tehran. The official sources of the Islamic republic regime have announced such news by qualifying those arrested as "Drug Addicts, Drug Traffickers or Hooligans".

The official number of arrests for Isfahan has been announced as 4,700 and in Tehran of 500 individuals.

The Islamic regime has increased the existing persistent repression in an effort to avoid mass riots from taking place at the occasion of the first anniversary of June's nightly riots and the commemoration of the Student Uprising of July 9, 1999. In this line several demonstrators, who were protesting in front of the UN Office in the Iranian Capital, were beaten up and arrested, yesterday, by members of the Islamic regime's Intelligence. They were brought to an unknown destination under the silent eyes of the UN personnel. These arrested activists were intending to seek the UN help in order to free their fellow imprisoned or abducted comrades.

It's to note that the Islamic regime uses often false labels, such as, "Drug Trafficker", "Spy", "Rapist", "Hooligan" or "Bandit" in order to qualify its opponents. Such policy help the UN and the Mullahs' European and Japanese Collaborators to justify the continuation of their relations with a repressive and terrorist regime vis a vis their public opinions.
