Iran: Destruction of a subversive network that was planning a riot

TEHRAN -(ST)  Iranian security forces said on Friday that  they had dismantled a sabotage network that was planning a riot at Tehran University and other Iranian cities.

“The security forces managed in a qualitative operation to arrest key elements of an anti-revolutionary sabotage network after monitoring their plans for riots and clashes in conjunction with the University Student Day on December 7,” Mehr news agency quoted the security ministry as saying in a statement on its website.

Iran’s judiciary spokesman, Gholamhossein Ismaily, confirmed that the arrests during the recent crisis were minimal, noting that a total of 300 people had been arrested in Tehran and those involved in the acts of sabotage would be brought to justice and the rest released as soon as possible.

Ismaili added that “the judiciary differentiates between the demonstrators who expressed fears of the repercussions of high gasoline prices and those who took advantage of the conditions to carry out riots and vandalism,” pointing out that “the destruction of public property and theft and the killing of a number of members of the security forces and innocent civilians were the act of linked saboteurs some of them are abroad and are being directed by foreign intelligence services.”
