According to the Southeast Finland Border Guard District, if they succeeded, they would be smuggling 3-6 Iranians nearly every day.
In January 2018, there was a protest held in Central Helsinki, in which 50 Iranians participated in.
They wanted Iran to kick out the president Hassan Rouhani and the supreme leader Ali Khamenei.
