Tehran, Iran, Jun. 12 – Dozens of women have been arrested as State Security Forces (SSF) clamped down on a peaceful demonstration by several thousands Iranian women in Tehran, a protestor told Iran Focus by telephone.

Security forces attacked the women who had gathered in 7 Tir Square demanding equal rights, the source said.
