Iranian authorities prevented a gathering at the tomb of ancient Persian king Cyrus the Great and arrested a number of suspects. A statement from the National Council of Resistance of Iran said that officials have taken repressive measures since a few weeks ago “To prevent people from entering Pasargadae, Revolutionary Guards, Basij, police and plain-clothed forces were sent from neighboring provinces and cities to Fars province and the surrounding areas of Pasargadae. They have been controlling the roads leading to the Pasargadae’s nearby cities,” the statement read and continued: IRGC forces and the Police Force in Pasargadae and the surrounding towns had virtually imposed a curfew and had blocked all roads leading to Pasargadae, even the rural roads, and were preventing the movement of vehicles to and from Pasargadae.
