 Tehran, Iran, Dec. 20 – Iranian State Security Forces raided a residence in the northern city of Noshahr over the weekend, arresting some 20 men and women who had attended a co-ed party, according to an email sent to Iran Focus from the area.
The detained individuals have been handed over to the judiciary in the province of Mazandaran to face prosecution for attending the mixed-sex party.
Co-ed parties are banned in Islamic Iran. Thousands of teenage boys and girls were arrested last year for taking part in similar parties. Some were flogged in public.
