70 academics, 36 journalists “missing” in Iran

25th June 2009 By Sten No Comment

Iranian authorities arrested 70 academics who met with opposition leader Mir Hossein Mousavi on Wednesday, other prominent dissidents, as well as at least 10 foreign and 26 Iranian journalists have “disappeared” in recent days, Arutz 7 reports.

It is not known where the professors were taken.

Despite the risk, protesters clashed again Wednesday with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s special Basij militia force, which has brutalized many of the demonstrators since the June 12 elections.
