NCRI –\u00a0Up to 19 men and women have been arrested in Iran after they attended a private party in the city of Sirjan in southern Iran.<\/p>\n
The young Iranians were detained following a raid by repressive State Security Forces (police) on a house in a garden in the suburb of the city, state-run news outlets reported on Sunday, 4 September.<\/p>\n
An official of the Iranian regime\u2019s judiciary said the detained individuals included 7 men and 12 men while the State Security Forces are searching for a number others involved in organizing the party.<\/p>\n
Mohsen Nikvarz, the city\u2019s prosecutor said: \u201cThe arrestees were transferred to prison and the house in the garden was sealed.\u201d<\/p>\n
The judiciary official \u201cwarned about holding parties and reiterated that the violators will face fullest extent of punishment\u201d, state-run Mehr News Agency reported.<\/p>\n
Similar raids have been carried out on birthday and graduation parties across Iran in recent weeks.<\/p>\n
On August 8, the Prosecutor General of the Kerman Province (Southern Iran) announced the sealing of “three centers of arranging night parties” and arresting 18 people in this regard.<\/p>\n
“These people have been detained in the suburbs of the Kerman city and in the framework of a special plan for “fighting the vice,” Dadkhoda Salari told Mizan new agency, affiliated with the judiciary, on Tuesday, August 8.<\/p>\n
According to him, after the sealing of the centers, “the main promoters and owners of these places were prosecuted, and a total of 18 organizers of these parties were also arrested.”<\/p>\n
The judiciary official described the launching of “night parties” as a sign that “the enemy has broken our borders, entered into the realm of society and houses,” and argued that the prosecution would act revolutionarily in dealing with “manifestations of depravity”.<\/p>\n
In May, up to 30 students were given 99 lashes each for attending a mixed-gender graduation party.<\/p>\n
The young men and women were all flogged in Qazvin, about 90 miles north west of the capital Tehran, as part of a brutal new crackdown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
