Also in May, the head of Tehran's cyber crimes court had said on state TV that authorities had arrested eight people for working in "un-Islamic" online modelling networks, singling out Instagram in particular.

The clampdown continued with the arrest of 53-year-old Mehdi Butorabi, the manager of the Persian Blog, as reported by the student news agency ISNA. The blog is very popular with thousands of young Iranians who use it to share their thoughts and opinions.
