On September 27, the international organization “Committee to Protect Journalists” reported that following the death of 22-year-old Kurdish woman Mahsa Amini and the onset of a new wave of public protests in Iran, 20 journalists had been detained.
The organization did not provide details about the detention of the journalists. “Authorities must stop arresting those who cover the protests and immediately release those detained,” the statement noted.
Mahsa Amini was detained in Tehran by the morality police for improper wearing of a headscarf. She died on September 16. According to the official version, she suffered a heart attack, but human rights defenders believe she was beaten.
It has been reported that many were injured during the protests, with fatalities among both protesters and law enforcement officials.
