COPENHAGEN - Four members of an Iranian separatist group, the Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahwaz, have been arrested in Denmark and the Netherlands. The three members of the London-based group who were arrested in Denmark could face a pre-trial custody hearing Tuesday in Roskilde, 40 kilometres (25 miles) west of Copenhagen. Borch Andersen said the arrests in Denmark were linked to a case in the Netherlands where police arrested a 40-year-old man. An unnamed Norwegian citizen of Iranian descent was arrested in Oct. 2018 on suspicion of helping an unspecified Iranian intelligence service “to act in Denmark” and of alleged involvement in the assassination plot.
