<<Journalist Mohammadi Jailed for Nearly a Year for <Giving a Voice to Women>
The Paris-based media freedom watchdog Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has urged Iranian authorities to release Elahe Mohammadi, a journalist it said has been incarcerated for the past 11 months for <giving a voice to women> in Iran. Mohammadi has been held since her arrest on September, 29, 2022, for covering the funeral of Mahsa Amini, the 22-year-old woman who died in police custody on September 16 after being arrested for being <inappropriately> dressed. She went on trial in May on charges that include <conspiracy> and <collusion> and is now awaiting a verdict, while her twin sister, fellow journalist Elnaz Mohammadi, has received a three-year suspended prison sentence earlier this month for covering the monthslong <Woman, Life, Freedom> protests that were sparked by Amini's death. <By imprisoning Elaheh Mohammadi for the past 11 months and punishing Elnaz Mohammadi, the Iranian government shows that it is determined to silence these two sister journalists and the women whose views they report,> Jonathan Dagher, head of RSF's Middle East desk, said in a statement on September 6. In 2023, Elahe Mohammadi and Niloofar Hamedi, a journalist who is currently a fellow detainee in Tehran's Evin prison, were included in Time Magazine's list of the world’s most influential people and were awarded the UNESCO/Guillermo Cano World Press Freedom Prize together with a third jailed Iranian woman, Narges Mohammadi (not related to the journalists). Unlike her sister, Elnaz Mohammadi does not languish behind bars, but she is banned from leaving Iran, from talking to foreign media and from practicing journalism. She is also required to regularly attend a course on <ethical journalism.> >>

<<Jailed Journalist Maroofian Says Was <Sexually Assaulted> during Arrest
In an audio file sent from Tehran's Evin prison, journalist Nazila Maroofian says that she was <sexually assaulted> during her latest arrest a week ago. <They sexually assaulted me when I was in the worst possible situation,> the 23-year-old Maroofian said in the audio file made public on September 6. Maroofian was detained at her home in Tehran on August 30, marking the fourth time in the past year that the outspoken journalist from the predominantly Kurdish western city of Saqqez has been arrested. She was later sentenced to one year in prison for allegedly disseminating <propaganda against the system> and <collusion and gathering.> Maroofian was initially arrested in November 2022 following the publication of an interview with Amjad Amini, the father of the 22-year-old woman whose death in police custody in September last year sparked months of nationwide protests. The authorities, fearing a flare up in protests ahead of the first anniversary of Mahsa Amini's death, have ramped up their crackdown against activists, journalists and families of those killed in the widespread demonstrations.>>

<<Journalist Nazila Maroofian sentenced to one year in jail and fine
Journalist Nazila Maroofian was sentenced to one year in prison and payment of a fine.
Sunday, September 3, 2023, Branch 26 of the Revolutionary Court of Tehran sentenced journalist Nazila Maroofian to one year in prison and payment of 15 million Tomans for disseminating <propaganda against the state.>
This is the fourth time this young journalist has been arrested over a period of one year.
Most recently, she was violently arrested after security forces broke into her home on August 30, 2023. An informed source told Nazila’s family that she had started a dry hunger strike since five days ago. Nazila Maroofian, a student at Tehran's Allameh Tabatabai University and a young journalist for Rouydad 24, was arrested on October 30, 2022, by order of the Revolutionary Prosecutor's Office based in Evin Prison in Tehran. She was arrested for publishing her interviews with the father of Mahsa Amini on the Rouydad 24 website in October and November 2022.>>

<<Iranian Journalist Maroofian Handed One-Year Prison Term
The judicial system of the Islamic Republic has sentenced journalist Nazila Maroofian to one year in prison for allegedly disseminating <propaganda against the system> and <collusion and gathering,> amid an intensifying crackdown on dissent and the media in the country. In his September 3 ruling, Judge Iman Afshari of Branch 26 of Tehran Revolutionary Court also imposed a fine of 15 million tomans ($300) on the imprisoned journalist.
Maroofian, 23, is from the predominantly Kurdish western city of Saqqez but resides in Tehran. She was sent behind bars on August 30, marking the fourth time in the past year she had been arrested. Neighbors of Maroofian told IranWire that she was detained at her home, with security forces using force during her arrest. Due to injuries sustained from the beatings to which he had been subjected, Maroofian was briefly transferred from Tehran's Evin prison to a hospital on August 31, according to reports. On September 2, the Kurdistan Human Rights Network reported that Maroofian started a hunger strike to protest her mistreatment during detention and to demand her unconditional release. Maroofian was initially arrested in November 2022, following the publication of an interview with Amjad Amini, the father of the 22-year-old woman whose death in police custody in September sparked months of nationwide protests. Dozens of other journalists have been arrested since the eruption of the widespread protests.>>

<<Iran sentences two more women journalists to jail time as anniversary of Mahsa Amini's death nears
Under the sentence, Negin Bagheri and Elnaz Mohammadi will serve onefortieth of the term, or less than a month, in prison, their lawyer Amir Raisian told the reformist Ham Mihan daily newspaper, where Mohammadi works. <The remaining period is suspended over five years,> during which time they will be required to take <a professional ethics training> and <prohibited from leaving the country,> the lawyer added. Raisian did not elaborate on whether the verdict can be appealed, and the report did not detail the allegations against the reporters. Mohammadi's sister, Elahe, who also works for Ham Mihan, has since September 2022 been in prison after reporting on the funeral of Mahsa Amini, 22, who died in police custody. The death on September 16, 2022 of Amini, an Iranian Kurd, came after her arrest for an alleged breach of the Islamic republic's dress code, triggering months-long nationwide protests. Foreign-based rights groups have reported multiple arrests ahead of the anniversary of Amini's death.
Bagheri works for the unaffiliated Haft-e Sobh newspaper.
Elnaz Mohammadi was arrested and kept in Evin prison for a week in February. The reason for her detention was not clear. Last year's demonstrations saw hundreds of people killed, including dozens of security personnel, and thousands arrested in connection with what officials labelled as foreign-instigated <riots>. Seven men have been executed in protest-related cases involving killings and other violence against security forces. Local media reported last month that authorities in Iran have questioned or arrested more than 90 journalists since the protests. On Wednesday, an Iranian news agency reported that journalist Nazila Maroufian, who defied Iran's strict dress code and was freed on bail earlier in August, has been rearrested for not wearing the headscarf in public.
