Iran: Press freedom violations recounted in real time January 2018

17.10.2018 – Journalists missing in Tehran prison for past 50 days

 The families of five detainees who worked for the Majzooban Noorwebsite – journalists Reza Entesari, Kasra Nouri and Mohammad Sharifi Moghadam and citizen-journalists Sina Entesari and Amir Nouri – have had no news of them for the past 50 days. They were separated from other detainees at the start of September when riot police broke up a protest in Tehran prison about conditions, especially the degrading conditions for women.

Majzooban Noor is the only independent source of news and information about the Sufi religious community of Gonabadi dervishes in Iran.

Since the start of September, the intelligence ministry and the prison officials have refused to tell the families where they are holding the five journalists and citizen-journalists and three other members of this religious community, Mehdi Eskandari, Hessam Moieni and Morteza Kangarlou. All were arrested on the night of 19 February during clashes between police and members of this community in the north Tehran district of Pasdaran.

RSF calls on Javaid Rehman, the UN’s new special rapporteur on the human rights situation in Iran, to intercede on behalf of these journalists, who were arrested arbitrarily and convicted without due process.
