According to Human Right Activists News Agency (HRANA), Over 900 people were arrested on the one year anniversary of protests against the fraudulent Iranian Presidential election.

According to HRANA reporters, at least 300 of the detainees are women and their families are unaware of their situation.

Security forces prevented gatherings by families of the detainees by closing “Shohada ye Jandarmery” and “Kargar Jonoubi” intersections located in front of the Tehran police headquarters.

It is worth mentioning that so far the family of at least 15 women detainees who did not have identification cards at hand were asked to submit their documents. The families of the male detainees were told by authorities to refer to the security police office today to inquire on the situation of their loved ones.

This morning at 2:00am, 30 detainees ranging from 20-25 years old were driven with a van to Enghelab Square and released there.
