Danish student 'arrested in Iran'
bbc07-Nov-2009
A Danish journalism student has been arrested in Iran after covering anti-government protests, unions say.
The Danish Union of Journalists named the student as Niels Krogsgaard, 31.
Wednesday's Tehran protests coincided with an official rally to mark 30 years since the storming of the US embassy during the 1979 Islamic revolution.
A Canadian, a Japanese and an Iranian journalist are also being held for covering the protests without permits, the semi-official Fars agency reports.
