Of all the warnings of the dangers of online dating, I must admit this is a new one on me:
Dozens of young Iranians have been detained for “unlawful actions” after using a website to arrange dates, officials say. A militia commander said 68 men and women were arrested in the capital Tehran, according to a report by Iran’s official Islamic Republic News Agency (Irna). The Basij militia also detained the operators of the dating website, Irna said.
Correspondents say the Basij enforce Iran’s strict morality laws and often raid mixed parties and gatherings, but this is the first time an operation against internet users has been reported.
General Ahmad Rouzbehani told Irna: “Some people were using an internet site to allow girls and boys to talk and arrange meetings in a place in north Tehran where they had illegal relations.
