Tehran, Iran ·

Iranian security forces and plainclothes officers broke up a Halloween gathering in central Tehran on Friday evening, according to witnesses. People were beaten and detained, and nearby cafes were forced to close.

Iran's authorities restrict public gatherings and enforce strict Islamic rules on public conduct, which can lead to crackdowns on social events.
