HRANA – The General Directorate of Intelligence of Razavi Khorasan announced that it has arrested 192 citizens in the province in connection with the protests.

In a statement, the General Directorate of Intelligence of Razavi Khorasan claimed that these citizens were involved in the killing of six law enforcement–security forces in the province during the protests.

The statement also listed “setting fire to mosques, public and service facilities, buses, and attacking military and law enforcement centers” as additional charges brought against the detainees.

It further claimed that firearms and cold weapons were discovered in the possession of these citizens.

The report did not provide any information regarding the identities of the detainees or their place of detention.

It is worth noting that gatherings and strikes by shopkeepers and bazaar merchants began in Tehran on Sunday, December 28, and after two days spread beyond bazaars and commercial centers. With the participation of students, citizens, and various social groups, these protests turned into one of the most widespread demonstrations in recent years.
