Four Iranian citizens have been arrested in Shahreza, Isfahan province, on charges of “insulting Qassem Soleimani”on social media platforms, a local news agency reported on Monday.
The state-run Sina news agency quoted the prosecutor general and revolutionary of the city of Shahreza, as saying that four people have been arrested for “insulting Qassem Soleimani.”
Amir Hossein Razaz Zadeh said insulting the recently killed commander of the Qods Forces Qassem Soleimani is tantamount to “propaganda against the system” and “blasphemy” and that the defendants will be dealt with.
“Publishing content that insults the personality of martyrs is tantamount to the crime of spreading propaganda against the state,” he said.
“In terms of the sanctity of martyrdom, it is considered blasphemy and will end in arrest and detention,” Razaz Zadeh added.
He warned other internet users in Iran to be careful about their comments on social media.
Qassem Soleimani, the regime’s top military commander, was killed on January 3, 2020, along with several Iraqi paramilitary commanders in an airstrike carried out by the U.S. forces in Baghdad, Iraq.
