Iran has arrested 79 journalists in a staggering crackdown since Mahsa Amini's death a year ago

Reporters Without Borders (RSF) looks back at the Iranian government’s year long crackdown on journalists for covering the wave of protests triggered by Mahsa Amini’s death in police custody – 12 months of arbitrary arrests and trials on spurious charges. A labyrinth of state repression that saw a total of 79 journalists arrested,12 of whom remain in prison to this day. As for those who have been released, their freedom remains restricted.
