Thousands defy Iran demo crackdown
Updated on 10 July 2009
The head of Tehran's police said few arrests were made during an opposition attempt to revive street demonstrations over Iran's disputed election.
Police chief Azizullah Rajabzadeh said those arrested in Thursday's protests were involved in "damaging public property and chanting," according to a report from the semi-official Mehr news agency.
He gave no exact number of detainees, saying only that they were "few," adding, "there was no widespread campaign of arrests."
