“At least 40 activists and aid workers volunteering in the camps for victims of Iran’s recent earthquakes have been arrested by security and military forces, according to Saham News. The arrests were reportedly made during disputes over the distribution of aid when volunteers attempted to take over a warehouse holding volunteer aid collections. Authorities stressed that all aid is subject to the supervision of security forces. According to an opposition website linked to Mir Hossein Mousavi, “the arrests were carried out by “50 to 60 officials with 10 vans.” POMED
