Tehran Police Commander Hossein Rahimi criticized advertising for “selling weapons, bullets” and publishing “immoral issues” in cyberspace and called on the responsible bodies to address this issue.
“Unfortunately, in some cases, we have seen inappropriate advertisements being published on some sites, some of which are licensed,” he said. “These cases need to be monitored.”
Regarding legal action against these sites, the Tehran police commander said: “You should note that the site owner and the responsible bodies should self-monitor and deal with criminal cases.”
Rahimi warned of an increase in firearms in Tehran last November, saying, “Unfortunately, the weapons in the capital have somewhat increased.” He said a report had been sent to officials.
The Javan newspaper affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards wrote in a report last year that photos of weapons with prices, models, years of manufacture, and their calibers are available on websites.
ISNA news agency says that Tehran police officers recently discovered a number of cold weapons and unconventional knives from a person who had advertised his products on some licensed sites.
