Prosecutor's Office in Tehran: Several people who promoted celibacy were arrested on Iranshahr Street.

Tehran's prosecutor's office says it arrested several people on Iranshahr Street for what it called "promoting nudity and immorality in the city."

According to Mizan, Iran's legal news agency, in a statement from the prosecutor's office in Tehran, it is warned that "any behavior that aims to promote nudity and unrest in society" will be dealt with.

The prosecutor's office in Tehran did not mention any further details, but Golmhossein Mohseny Azaei, on the 6th of Mahar, ordered the attorney general in the country to "resolutely and in accordance with the law follow the fight against social and sometimes vulgar and naked deviations".

In recent weeks, there has been an increase in the arrest of people or the closing of public places under the headings of "immodesty" and "indecency".
