Dozens of young Iranians have been detained for “unlawful actions” after using a website to arrange dates, officials say.
A militia commander said 68 men and women were arrested in the capital Tehran, according to a report by Iran’s official Islamic Republic News Agency (Irna).
The Basij militia also detained the operators of the dating website, Irna said.
Correspondents say the Basij enforce Iran’s strict morality laws and often raid mixed parties and gatherings, but this is the first time an operation against internet users has been reported.
Pathetic. And futile.
