According to reports received on the ground, Iranian intelligence forces in plain clothes attacked the houses of two Kurdish citizens, Foad and Azad Amjadi, in Sna and arrested them.

The plain-clothes forces inspected their houses and arrested them arbitrarily, our reporter said.

The reason behind their arrests is their participation on the strike of truck drivers.
