“Seventy other detainees were freed on bail after preliminary investigations were completed following detention of a number of suspects in the recent riots and in line with the Judiciary chief’s order to differentiate between those who have been deceived and the main culprits behind the recent riots,” Jafari Dolatabadi said.
A number of protests were staged in several cities and towns across the country. Some of the protests turned violent. The protests started on December 28 last year and ended after a week.
