Iran security forces arrest AFP journalist -agency
“Iranian security forces arrested an Agence France Presse reporter covering Wednesday’s rally marking the anniversary of seizure of the U.S. embassy, the agency said on Thursday.
Foreign media have been banned from covering street protests since the demonstrations over the disputed June presidential vote, which the opposition says was rigged to secure President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s re-election.
‘Farhad Pouladi was covering the rally when he was stopped and taken away by three security agents, two in uniform and one in plainclothes,’ acting Tehran bureau chief Jay Deshmukh said.”
