Gino d'Artali - The 30th annual World Press Freedom Day, May 3, 2023
Dear reader, the free press is under attack from multiple forces. Media
outlets are closing their doors, victims to a broken business model. In
much of the world, journalism is morphing into propaganda, as
governments dictate what can and can't be printed. In the last year
alone, hundreds of reporters have been killed or imprisoned for doing
their jobs. The UN reports that 85% of the world's population
experienced a decline in press freedom in their country in recent years.
This week marks the 30th annual World Press Freedom Day, a day for
everyone to reflect on the importance of free expression as fundamental
for all other rights. It is also an opportunity to pledge support for
independent media – because without a robust and free press, a healthy
democracy is impossible.
And I, as a journalist as well as a women's rights activist I'd like to
honour the two journalists who where the first ones to cover the death
of Jina Mahsa Amini, Allah has her soul, and I quote: <<Niloufar Hamedi,
a 30-year-old journalist with the Sharq newspaper, took a photograph of
that moment of grief and posted it on her Twitter account. Alongside it,
she wrote: <The black dress of mourning has become our national flag.>
Two days later, Elaheh Mohammadi, a 35-year-old reporter with the
Hammihan newspaper, published a story about Ms Amini's funeral in her
hometown of Saqqez, in the western province of Kurdistan. Ms Mohammadi
began her article, which was headlined <A homeland of grief>, with a
quote from Ms Amini's father: <Mahsa had no underlying health
conditions. Whoever says that is lying.> >>

Note by Gino d'Artali: both journalists are still in jail waiting for a
fair and just trial.

<<Iranian Authorities Urged to Free Jailed Radio Journalist Shahrabi
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has urged the Iranian
authorities to immediately release a journalist who was arrested last
week on unknown charges amid a crackdown on dissent and the media. <Iranian
authorities must free journalist Sajjad Shahrabi immediately and
unconditionally and cease the practice of arbitrarily locking up members
of the press,> CPJ Program Director Carlos Martinez de la Serna said in
a statement on May 8. <Shahrabi's detention shows, shamefully, that
authorities do not find it necessary to disclose even a minimum of
details about why a reporter has been arrested,> he added. Shahrabi is a
reporter and radio host for the state-owned outlet Islamic Republic of
Iran Broadcasting (IRIB). He also hosts a weekly satirical sports
program for the state-run Radiojavan.ir. He was reportedly arrested on
May 3, after security forces raided his father's house in Tehran and
confiscated his and his family's personal and electronic items,
including the journalist's computer and notebook. Shahrabi is currently
detained in Tehran's Evin Prison. CPJ said it had been unable to
determine why the journalist was arrested or whether he had been
formally charged. According to the New York-based media freedom watchdog,
at least three other journalists have been arrested in Iran since
mid-April.>>

<<Maryam Vahidian, journalist, condemned to 4 years in jail
Branch 26 of the Revolutionary Court of Tehran sentenced Maryam Vahidian,
a journalist, to four years in prison. Maryam Vahidian had been
previously pursued and imprisoned for <assembly and collusion with
intent to disrupt national security.> The verdict has been suspended for
five years. The trial for these charges was held on April 18, 2023, at
Branch 26 of the Revolutionary Court. Maryam Vahidian, a journalist
reporting on workers' issues for the ILNA news agency, was arrested in
Tehran on November 27 and released from Evin prison on December 28,
2022. Reporters Without Borders noted that an unprecedented number of
female journalists have been arrested and imprisoned in Iran. Reporters
Without Borders has placed Iran in 178th place among 180 countries in
the World Press Freedom index in 2022, after China, Myanmar, and
Turkmenistan. Only Eritrea and North Korea are behind Iran. The
Committee to Protect Journalists announced Iran as the top jailer of
journalists in 2022. China, Myanmar, Turkey, and Belarus lag behind Iran
in the CPJ index. According to the CPJ, Iranian authorities have
imprisoned a record number of female journalists, a reflection of their
prominent role in covering this women-led uprising.>>

<<Arrested Iranian Journalist Abbasi Kept in Undisclosed Location
The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) urges the Iranian authorities
to release journalist Hasan Abbasi immediately and unconditionally, drop
any charges against him and put an end to <the practice of arbitrarily
locking up members of the press for doing their jobs.> <Authorities must
ensure that all journalists are able to cover newsworthy issues without
fear that they will be arrested,> CPJ Program Director Carlos Martinez
de la Serna said in a statement on May 4.Abbasi, a freelance
investigative reporter who covers news in the southern city of Bandar
Abbas, was arrested on April 30 following a complaint filed by Hormozgan
province’s governor over his reporting, according to news reports, amid
a crackdown on dissent and the media. It remains unclear where Abbasi is
being held or whether he has been formally charged. Reports said that
the complaint against Abbasi was filed in response to his coverage in
the semi-official outlet AshkanNews of retired sailors who had failed to
receive their pensions. Four days before his arrest, Abbasi posted a
video on social media saying that he was also facing another complaint
filed by the local office of the Ministry of Industry, Mines, and Trade
accusing him of spreading <fake news> in his reporting on the ministry.
In December 2022, Abbasi was reportedly detained for his critical
coverage of alleged government corruption, was held for a week and
charged with disturbing the public order and spreading false news on
social media. According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, Iranian
authorities have arrested more than 95 journalists since anti-government
protests erupted across the country following the September death in
police custody of a 22-year-old woman, Mahsa Amini.>>
