Iranian Women Journalists Convicted for Reporting on Amini Protests

Two women journalists in Iran have been sentenced to 13 and 12 years in prison respectively for their coverage of the death of Kurdish-Iranian Mahsa Amini, who died in custody last year. The charges against them include collaboration with the U.S. government and acting against national security. The death of Amini sparked widespread protests across Iran, posing a significant challenge to the country's clerical leaders. Lawyers for the journalists have rejected the charges, and the verdicts are subject to appeal.
