#Iranian media say two women journalists have been handed three-year suspended jail terms for 'conspiring to commit offences against national security'. Elnaz #Mohammadi and Negin #Baqeri have been ordered to undergo what was described as professional ethics training and are to serve the first month of their suspended sentences in prison. (cont.)
Both women journalists were arrested after they reported the widespread protests following the death in custody last September of 22 year-old #Mahsa #Amini. Elnaz #Mohammadi 's sister Elaheh – who was one of the first journalists to break the story of Ms Amini’s death – remains in jail on security-related charges.
