At least 200 rebel leaders detained in Iran — Tasnim

Snip:

Iranian security forces have detained at least 200 leaders of armed groups accused of organizing mass unrest, the Tasnim news agency reported, citing law enforcement sources.

During the operations, a large quantity of weapons, ammunition, grenades, and Molotov cocktails were seized from the hiding places of the pogromists, the agency said.

The arrest of leaders of the groups that used protesters as human shields, was one of the reasons for the decline in the intensity of the unrest on January 10, Tasnim noted.
