Nine European citizens arrested in anti-hijab movement in Iran

Despite the strict warnings of the Iranian government, the anti-hijab movement is not stopping. Iran has told the hand of foreign enemies behind this. Nine citizens of European countries have been arrested.

These include citizens of Germany, Poland, Italy, France, the Netherlands and Sweden. After this action, the possibility of escalation of tension between Iran and European countries has increased.

The death toll in nearly two weeks of clashes between protesters and security forces has risen to 83.

Amnesty International, citing leaked documents, said that the Iranian government has ordered a strict crushing of the movement. Amnesty International Secretary-General Agnes Callamard said on Friday that the Iranian government has decided to injure or kill anyone who is seen protesting on the streets. Said, many men, women and children were killed illegally during the movement. Security forces are beating up women without hijabs. The agency did not say how it got these documents.

At the same time, there has been no statement from the Iranian authorities. Meanwhile, Mohammad Javed Haj Ali Akbari, an influential cleric from Iran, addressed people after Friday prayers in Tehran, saying that security is our right and the security forces should take strict action against barbaric protesters. Meanwhile, Germany’s foreign minister has said she wanted the European Union to impose sanctions on Iran after Mahsa Amini’s death.
