India urges its citizens in Iran to leave the country

India’s foreign ministry has urged its citizens to leave Iran, where rights groups say a crackdown on mass protests has killed and arrested thousands of people.

India’s foreign ministry estimates there are usually around 10,000 citizens in Iran.

“Indian nationals who are currently in Iran (students, pilgrims, business persons and tourists) are advised to leave Iran by available means of transport,” the Indian Embassy in Tehran says in a post on social media.
