HRANA – The police commander of Semnan announced the arrest of seven citizens, citing what was described as “contact with media outlets outside the country and anti-security and norm-breaking activities.”

According to Fars News Agency, the Semnan police commander stated that the reasons for these arrests included “ongoing contact with foreign-based media outlets, carrying out anti-security and norm-breaking acts, sending the geographic coordinates of sensitive locations, and insulting and using abusive language.”
