Iran women arrested over protest

Iran's authorities have arrested more than 32 women activists protesting outside a courthouse in Tehran. The protesters were showing solidarity with five women on trial for organising a protest last June against laws they say discriminate against women.

The five have been charged with endangering national security, propaganda against the state and taking part in an illegal gathering. The aim of the women is to draw attention to discriminatory Islamic laws on polygamy and child custody that often cause great suffering to women.
