Iranian media says 3,000 arrested in recent protests

Around 3,000 people were arrested during the recent protests in Iran, according to security officials cited by the country's Tasnim news agency on Friday.

The 3,000 people detained included "armed individuals and rioters" and "members of terrorist organisations," according to Tasnim, which is considered close to security forces in Iran.

Rights groups have estimated that up to 20,000 people have been arrested.
