A report that the UK ambassador to Iran was arrested and held for several hours for organizing destructive protests against the downing of the Ukrainian 737. Was this really the ambassador or is there some faulty translation? Or more fake news?

From Iran's Tasim News via Google Translate:

British ambassador at Amir Kabir University arrested

The British ambassador to Tehran was detained for hours after being detained for organizing suspicious movements at Amir Kabir University and then released.

  • 1 January - 1:50
During a gathering today, a group of people were detained for hours in front of Amir Kabir University, the British ambassador to Tehran, who was in the midst of a rally to organize, instigate and direct some radical and destructive actions.

He was told about the protest after his arrest. The ambassador was released hours later but is said to be summoned and prosecuted tomorrow.

Informed sources told Tasnim that a shop in front of Amir Kabir University was the main site of the British ambassador's coordination.
