Tasnim News Agency: Arrest of Several Football Players at a Mixed Party
Tasnim News Agency reported that several current and former players of a prominent Tehran football team were arrested last night at a party in the city of Damavand with a judicial warrant.
Tasnim stated that some of the players participating in this mixed party were in an unusual state due to alcohol consumption.
Iran’s judiciary officials refer to nighttime parties as examples of social disorder and corruption, and since crime prevention is the responsibility of the judiciary in Iran, law enforcement officers in this country raid the venues of such gatherings with judicial warrants.
Meanwhile, human rights activists consider hosting parties within private homes as part of individuals’ rights in their personal privacy.
