Police and intelligence forces detained Chinese man for allegedly posting pictures of women online in Iran
Iranian authorities arrested a Chinese man for allegedly posting pictures of girls he met in Iran on social media without their consent, a prosecutor within the city center of Kashan told local news agencies on Tuesday.
Police and intelligence forces detained the person , who has not been named, at a road toll booth within the city, prosecutor Ruhollah Dehqani told the semi-official ILNA press agency .
After he was accused by multiple posters of boasting on social media that it had been easy to satisfy Iranian women, the person issued a videotaped apology on YouTube, saying he had deleted all the pictures , Reuters reported.
Iran’s Islamic laws ban contacts between unrelated men and ladies , and there are frequent crackdowns on people that post images on social media that authorities deem immoral.
The foreign ministry in China, which has close relations with Iran, didn’t immediately answer an invitation from Reuters for comment.
Prosecutor Dehqani said several people had filed complaints against the defendant, which the case would be heard by a court specializing in cases linked to problems with morality, the semi-official YJC press agency reported.
