Acts of protest were held in Tehran connected with the policy and
indifference of the Iranian authorities after the crash of the Caspian
Airlines plane en route to Yerevan, which took the lives of 168 people
on board.

Participants of the rally handed letters to the parliament and
government of the country, the mass media and the representation of
the Caspian Airlines.

Forty-eight victims of the accident were representatives of the
Armenian community of Iran, another six were citizens of the Republic
of Armenia.

The law-enforcement bodies tried to prevent the protests. Reporter
of the "Yerkir Media" TV Company was arrested and was released in a
few hours after a number of complaints, Photolure agency reported.
