Iran arrests 260 people for spreading 'satanism and nudity'
Iran's state media say police arrested more than 260 people, including three European citizens, on suspicion of spreading satanism
Iranian police have arrested more than 260 people, including three European citizens, on suspicion of spreading satanism, the state-run IRNA news agency reported Friday.
The report said the suspects were arrested on Thursday night in Shahryar County, west of the capital of Tehran, for “spreading the culture of satanism and nudity.” It did not elaborate.
It was not clear how such a large number of arrests were made in one night — if the suspects were in one location, at some gathering or party, or not.
Gatherings where unrelated men and women are seen together are illegal in Iran and considered a sin under Islamic law.

Just to spread the good news: Irans President died in a helicopter crash today
Woah is he confirmed dead? I heard there was a search ongoing but no confirmation.
Maybe he'll survive long enough to be eaten alive by wolves.
Thoughts and prayers
May be premature. Crash site has not been found yet.
Naturally Iranian state media is calling it "a hard landing".
A very hard landing, NYT reported that he beefed it. Which is unsurprising considering they went down in extrmely heavy fog and rain while flying over a remote mountain range. You're just asking for trouble at that point.
According to BBC (10min ago now), it now has been found, and The head of Iran's Red Crescent society has told state TV that the situation is not "good". I guess that's all they're willing to say for now.
"...it now has been found, and The head..."
sounds like a horror film.
