Iranian police have arrested more than 260 people, including three European citizens, on suspicion of spreading satanism, the state-run IRNA news agency reported Friday.

The report said the suspects were arrested on Thursday night in Shahryar County, west of the capital of Tehran, for “spreading the culture of satanism and nudity.” It did not elaborate.

It was not clear how such a large number of arrests were made in one night — if the suspects were in one location, at some gathering or party, or not.

Gatherings where unrelated men and women are seen together are illegal in Iran and considered a sin under Islamic law.

      “Soon, millions across the land will be showering, sleeping, and fucking, all without any clothes on. It’ll be the worst human catastrophe since The Black Plague swept across the medieval world!!!”

          First they came for low rise jeans, and I did not speak out—because I’m more of a breast man than an ass man

          Then they came for the mini-skirts, and I did not speak out—because I don’t wear skirts myself

          Then they came for the bikini, and I did not speak out—because the corner of the globe I live in has 3 distinct seasons, and I don’t currently live near the shore

          Then they kicked in the door while I was showering, and hauled me off to prison—and there was no one left to speak for me, or practicioners of nudity more generally
