Tehran, Iran, Aug. 29 – Iran’s State Security Forces have arrested 442 “trouble-makers” in the coastal province of Gilan, northern Iran, according to the provincial police press office.

The arrests come after Iranian authorities announced that they had launched a new crackdown to root out dissent in society.

“These arrests were carried out with the support of SSF commanders in towns in this province in the framework of a new operational plan called ‘Zafar’ (victory) to fight and contain disorder”, the SSF press office said.

Authorities routinely refer to anti-government activists as trouble-makers.
