Iran arrests four foreigners for ‘participation in riots’

Iranian authorities have arrested four foreigners of undisclosed nationalities for “participation in riots,” state television reports following a deadly crackdown on protests last month.

“These individuals were apprehended during a raid on their hideout” in Tehran province, national television says, without specifying the date of the arrests.

“During a search of one suspect’s bag, four homemade stun grenades, used during the riots and unrest in the area, were discovered,” it adds.
