Tehran: Some 30 people have been arrested in Iran, the judiciary said on Tuesday after protests over authorities’ handling of the shooting down of a Ukrainian airliner last week. Judiciary spokesman Gholamhossein Esmaili gave no further details on the arrests.
Tehran initially dismissed Western assertions the Boeing 737 had been downed by an Iranian missile, before admitting Saturday that it had been shot down due to “human error”.
That angered some Iranians. AFP correspondents said around 200 students gathered on Tuesday at Tehran University locked in a tense standoff with youths from a militia loyal to the establishment, on the fourth consecutive day. (AFP)
