Tehran -- Around 30 youth are reported to have been arrested in the riots that took place in Sardasht, in Iranian Kurdistan, on Monday and Tuesday.
A group of youth attacked a building which belongs to the Centre of Islamic Propaganda and broke the windows. Islamic regime's anti-riot troops intervened and managed to disperse the youth. However the city's youth re-grouped again and this time attacked the Baseej bank.
Most of the shops were closed Yesterday and there was a heavy presence of security forces in the city.
Those arrested have been transferred to Mahabad.

Do these "riots" have anything to do with the Kurd UNCHR refugees being returned to Tehran? Or something else?
