PARIS (JTA) — A
number of Iranian Jews
were arrested last week and
others have been called in to
the Teheran police head-
quarters on_ various
trumped-up investigations,
according to Iranian resi-
dents in Paris.
Certain Iranian sources
in Paris say that according
to mail received from their
families and friends still in
Teheran, more than 100
Jews are currently in prison
on a variety of charges,
mainly for alleged illegal
economic activities or for
spreading "Zionist prop-
aganda."
These sources say that
many Jews are moving out
of their homes and staying
with Moslem friends to
avoid interrogation and
possible arrest. Others are
waiting for visas to leave
the country.
Two Jews, the Daniel-
pour brothers, were last
month sentenced to
death by an Islamic tri-
bunal, but were finally
pardoned after various
international organiza-
tions intervened on their
behalf.
A French weekly `V.S.D.,
" reports, on the other hand,
that a large number of Ira-
nian Jews have returned to
their former homes" over
