On 14 January, journalists Elaheh Mohammadi and Niloofar Hamedi, working respectively for Hammihan newspaper and Shargh Daily, were released on €400,000 bail after 16 months detention in Tehran's Evin prison. However, a new case was filed against the two women reporters as they were not wearing the hijab in public when they came out of prison. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) welcomes the release of the two journalists and demands the dropping of all charges against them.
