Iranian security forces arrested a journalist who had an interview with the father of Muhsa Amini, whose death in September sparked demonstrations that turned into a major protest against the regime, according to a non -governmental organization Friday.
According to Henkau, a human rights organisation, a journalist who lives in Tehran and was detained on Sunday in Saqz, in the Iranian province of Kurdistan, was also Muhsa Amini.
The journalist who works for the “Rouledad 24” website had published an interview with Amjad, the father of Muhsa Amini, on the “Mustaghel” website on the Internet on October 19th. According to the NGO, Mourovian was detained with her relatives and was transferred to Iwin Prison in the Iranian capital.
She made a direct reference to the dangers she would be subjecting herself to by publishing the interview when she said, “I do not have the goal of suicide and I have no basic ailment.”
Iran has been the scene of demonstrations for about two months now following the death of the young woman Muhsa Amini on September 16 and its subsequent suspension by the ethics police on charges of disobeying severe clothing codes.
Regarding magnitude and type, these protests are unique in Iran. The journalists who helped to the case’s disclosure have been held at Iwin Prison since the protests first started.
Nilofar Hamdi, a journalist for the newspaper “Sharq,” was on her way to the hospital, where she was a devoted immigrant in a coma before she passed away. She was thirty years old. Her family claims that she was detained on September 20.
As one of the first protests was taking place, his goddess Muhammad (35), a reporter for the daily “Ham Mihan,” went to Saqz to cover the Amini burial. On September 29, Muhammad was taken into custody.
The Journalists Committee, located in New York, reports that 54 journalists were detained as part of the effort to put an end to the protests. Since then, only ten of them have been released on bail.
