Relatives of Iranian protesters rally in solidarity

Relatives of the people who were arrested at a women’s rights rally in Tehran gathered in front of the city’s prison to demand their release.

At least 41 of the women arrested during Monday’s demonstration have been transferred to Evin Prison.

At least 400 people were arrested during the rally held in 7 Tir Square, according to a statement emailed to Iran Focus by one of the women’s groups that had originally sponsored the protest.

Iranian officials routinely play down the scope of anti-government protests and deflate the number of those arrested.

Terrifying.
