The Iranian government has banned its citizens from having contact with 60 organisations.
The blacklist includes the BBC, Human Rights Watch, the opposition website Rahesabz and US-funded broadcasters. The government has also told the public to avoid "irregular contacts with embassies or foreign nationals”.
On Monday the Iranian government announced that during opposition protests a number of foreign citizens were arrested. It did not mention their country of origin.
