    Seven people with British links arrested in Iran over protests

    UK Foreign Office is seeking further information about detainees, who include several dual nationals


    Seven people with links to Britain have been arrested by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards over anti-government protests that have snowballed across the country in recent months, according to reports.

    The people arrested, some of whom are dual nationals, were detained while trying to leave Iran, according to Reuters, citing a statement published by state media.

    The UK’s Foreign Office is understood to be seeking further information from the Iranian authorities on reports that British-Iranian dual nationals have been arrested. The statement that was published in state media read: “Seven main leaders of the recent protests related to the UK were detained by intelligence services of the IRGC [Revolutionary Guards], including dual nationals, who were trying to leave the country.”
