Iran, Dec. 11, 2018 – The Greater Tehran Bus Drivers Syndicate reported the Iranian regime’s intelligence and security agents arrested one of their members by the name of Reza Shahabi early Tuesday morning. Shahabi was originally detained along with a number of others and transferred to an unknown location.
