Iran: Restrictions on detained women journalists following a protest in prison
Imprisoned Iranian journalists Elaheh Mohammadi, Niloofar Hamedi and Nasim Soltan Beigi, among other women prisoners, were restricted from contact outside for one month, after they chanted slogans about "unfair sentences" when high-ranking judicial authorities visited Tehran’s Evin prison on 27 December. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) strongly condemns the punitive actions taken against them and calls on the Iranian authorities to release all imprisoned journalists and media workers.
