Iranian police have arrested a man and two women for insulting a religious site in district 6 of the capital Tehran.

The two women removed their headscarves while the three were wearing revealing clothes in front of a mourning place where people gather to commemorate the month of Muharram.

The month culminates on its tenth day known as Ashoura, which marks the martyrdom anniversary of the third Imam of Shia Muslims and the Prophet Muhammad’s grandson Hussein ibn Ali.
