'Nine Europeans' arrested in latest unrest

Nine European nationals have been arrested in Iran during deadly street protests sparked by a custody death

Intelligence officers detained people deemed to be "agents of foreign spy organisations" either at protests or "behind the scenes", local media said, Qazet.az informs.

The violence shows no sign of easing, with the death toll continuing to rise.

Protests erupted in the capital Tehran and spread through the country after Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini died having spent time in police custody.

The 22-year-old, from the north-western city of Saqez, was arrested in Tehran on 13 September by morality police officers for allegedly violating the strict law requiring women to cover their hair with a hijab, or headscarf.
