Iran's Foreign Ministry says London-based Farsi language media outlets have created a hostile atmosphere, amid violent unrest following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in Iranian police custody.
The move comes amid violent unrest in Iran triggered by the death of a young woman in police custody.
Protests over Amini's death have spread across at least 46 cities, towns and villages in Iran. State TV has suggested that at least 41 protesters and police have been killed since the protests began Sept. 17. An Associated Press count of official statements by authorities tallied at least 13 dead, with more than 1,200 demonstrators arrested.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry's website said it summoned Simon Shercliff, the U.K.'s ambassador to Iran, on Saturday and protested the hosting of critical Farsi-language media outlets. The ministry alleges the news outlets have provoked disturbances and the spread of riots in Iran at the top of their programs.
