NCRI - State Security Forces in Tehran have arrested 74 'thugs' in Tehran as part of the ongoing crackdown ahead of the June presidential election.
Greater Tehran's State Security Security commander Hossein Sajedinia told the state-run ISNA state-run news agency on May 16: "In a joint operation between Tehran's security forces and police the accused were first identified and then arrested.
"Expert police agents have arrested 74 thugs in the past 24 hours and turned them in to the judicial system.
Sajedinia said that 'thugs' were arrested in a 12-stage plan last year, and so far 150 people had been arrested in two stages of the security plan.
Meanwhile, 26 youths have also been arrested in Ahvaz on May 14 during raids on private homes. It is not known where the accused are being held.
The arrests are all part of a pre-election clampdown by paranoid rulers who fear a mass public uprising during the election in June.
