BBC Farsi staff arrested in Iran

Tehran, Mon, 19 Sep 2011 ANI

Tehran, Sept 19 (ANI): Authorities in Iran have reportedly arrested five people working for the BBC's Farsi-language service.

 

The BBC quoted Iranian state television as saying that the group provided the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) with video and negative news reports on Iran. The report did not identify them by their full names.

 

Iran has blocked the channel and accused it and the British government of fomenting the mass protests that broke out after Iran's disputed presidential election in 2009. Both deny the accusation.

 

The BBC's Farsi service has no office in Tehran.

 

Iran has detained many journalists and bloggers in recent years. (ANI)
