Iran has arrested three more leading activists in the country's reform movement, according to state media.

"Azar Mansouri, Ebrahim Asgharzadeh and Mohsen Aminzadeh have been arrested by security organizations and judicial bodies," Fars wrote on Sunday evening.

The charges relate to attempts to threaten the country's unity and questioning Iran's constitution, according to the regime-controlled news agency. Propaganda and secret subversive activities are also included in the regime's accusations.

On Saturday, information emerged that activist Ghorban Behzadian-Nejad had been arrested after he supported a reform-minded, regime-critical statement.

There is no independent or confirmed information on how many people have been arrested following the regime's brutal, deadly crackdown on regime protesters in Iran.
