Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIranian police are arresting merchants for selling clothing that featured the flags of the United States and Britain, two longtime foes of the Islamic Republic, local media says.
Garments imprinted with “Satanic symbols” are seized from stores in Tehran, city police chief General Hossein Sajedinia is quoted by the ISNA news agency as saying.
Sajedinia says reports about the activity had been received in the past two weeks, leading to surveillance and detentions.
“This morning we took these clothes off leading distributors,” he says, noting that any stores that sell such items “will be closed.”
