It’s not only Jews, Christians, Baha’i, Sunnis, and atheists they object to. [IsraelTimes] Iranian security forces arrested three critics of the government, summoned another, and confiscated their electronic devices, media reported on Monday.Iranian news outlets, including the private, pro-reform Shargh daily, said that security forces in separate operations raided the homes of journalist Parviz Sedaghat, 61, Mahsa Asadollahnejad, a sociologist, and Shirin Karimi, a translator. The Shargh report said authorities confiscated the electronic devices of Mohammad Maljou, a 53-year-old economist, and summoned him to appear before security officials. It said there was no information about Maljou after he willingly left his home to appear before the security body. Reportedly, the four are leftist critics of the Islamic Theocratic Republic’s theocratic system of government. This is the first collective detention of leftist researchers in recent years. However, there's more than one way to stuff a chicken... the country has a long history of arresting dissidents There were no immediate reports on the arrests by official and semiofficial media in Iran. Maljou, in his latest post on Telegram, urged people to oppose the country’s "war and isolation" and work to dissolve Iran’s "undemocratic" theocracy. |
