(Patria) - Iran's Revolutionary Guard arrested seven people on Sunday, including dual citizens linked to the United Kingdom, over anti-government protests that have shaken the country, state media cited a statement as saying.
"Seven main leaders of the recent protests linked to the United Kingdom were apprehended by the IRGC's (Revolutionary Guard) intelligence services, including dual nationals who were trying to leave the country," the statement said.
The unrest in Iran was triggered on September 16 by the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian woman of Kurdish origin who was arrested for wearing "inappropriate clothing" under Iran's strict Islamic dress code for women, Reuters recalls.
The government has blamed the unrest on protesters seeking to destroy public property and claims they were trained and armed by enemies.
