NCRI - The Iranian regime has arrested one seller of a software tool that is used for evading internet filtering.
The commander of Iranian regime’s cyberpolice in northern province of Zanjan said “Following efforts by the police, the seller was identified, digital documents were collected and the order for arrest was issued.”
He added that “the seller was arrested and the accused confessed after facing the documents,” state-run news agency Fars reported on Monday.
Many Iranians citizens evade the filter through use of "Virtual Private Network". Using the technology, surfers in Iran could sign in to a server in the United States for example and pretend that they are actually located in the US and not Iran. This way they circumvent the Iranian government’s installed filters and Iran’s information agents will not easily know which websites they visited.

The Iranian regime authorities have blocked the use of software tools that people use to evade Iranian regime's Internet filtering.
Iranian regime has adopted one of the world's most substantial Internet censorship regimes. Iran under mullahs' rule is among a small group of states with the most sophisticated filtering systems purchased from Western countries

Officers also found two SUVs burning on the property, the mayor said.

Investigators discovered the bullet-riddled and charred bodies on Saturday of a woman, a man, a 6-year-old boy and a 1-year-old boy in the smoldering wreckage of one of the SUVs.

The victims were all members of the same family, Madera said.

MEXICO CITY – Twenty of the 21 suspects detained by community police members in Buenavista Tomatlan, a city in the western Mexican state of Michoacan, and handed over to authorities have been released, the Attorney General’s Office said.

Investigators found no evidence that the suspects were involved in drug trafficking or served as lookouts for smugglers, the AG’s office said.

One suspect is being held in custody because investigators found he had a criminal record in the United States and plan to hand him over to U.S. authorities, the AG’s office said.

The community police force turned the 21 suspects over to prosecutors last Wednesday.

The suspects were detained in Felipe Carrillo Puerto, a town also known as “La Ruana” and located in Michoacan’s Tierra Caliente region, an area that became a marijuana growing center in the 1970s.
