Iran authorities shut down the Jahane Sanat newspaper on Monday following the publication of remarks by an expert who criticized the handling of coronavirus cases in the country.

Sidra Ghyas, a Lahore based Samaa TV reporter, was verbally and physically assaulted by accomplices of a religious scholar called Allama Zubair Ahmed Zaheer. CFWIJ stands with Sidra and demands that her culprits are brought to justice. We reject this act of violence that has left Sidra traumatized.
