    IRAN CRACKS DOWN ON ETHNIC AZERIS OVER MASSACRE PROTEST - AGENCY

    Turan news agency
    5 Apr 06

    Baku, 5 April: Tehran has intensified persecution of members of the
    national liberation movement of Southern Azerbaijan [northern Iran],
    a source in the Baku office of the National Revival Movement of
    Southern Azerbaijan has told Turan.

    Iranian special services arrested many members of the movement in
    their homes last night [4 April], the source said. The reason was
    the protest they staged in Tabriz to commemorate the genocide of
    Azerbaijanis [by Armenians] on 31 March [1918]. Several hours later
    some of the detainees were released, while others were bailed. Five
    people are still in remand facilities, the source said.
