Iran's Intelligence Ministry warned on Thursday that attending protests over the death of a woman in police custody is illegal and demonstrators would face prosecution, Iranian news websites reported.

"Considering the exploitation of recent incidents (protests) by counter-revolutionary (opposition) movements, any presence and participation in such illegal gatherings ... will result in judicial prosecution," the websites quoted the ministry as saying in a statement.
