Iran: CFWIJ Demands Journalist Nooshin Jafari’s Immediate Release

Journalist Nooshin Jafari was arrested without notice and transferred to Qarchak Prison to serve a four-year prison sentence. She was sentenced on charges of “spreading anti-establishment propaganda” and “insulting sanctities”. The Coalition For Women In Journalism (CFWIJ) condemns the arrest of Nooshin without even a summons notice. We urge the Iranian regime to end intimidating the journalists and demand Nooshin’s release immediately. Journalism is not a crime.
