An Iranian journalist, Elaheh Mohammadi, has been tried in a closed court on charges related to her coverage of the funeral of Mahsa Amini. Amini, a Kurdish-Iranian woman, died in custody last year for allegedly violating Iran’s Islamic dress code. Her death sparked mass protests across the country for months, posing a significant challenge to Iran’s clerical leaders. Mohammadi, a reporter for the pro-reform Hammihan newspaper, and another journalist, Niloofar Hamedi, have been accused of “colluding with hostile powers” for their coverage of Amini’s death, a charge that carries the death penalty under Iranian law. Iran’s intelligence ministry accused the two journalists of being CIA foreign agents. Hamedi took a photo of Amini’s parents hugging each other in a Tehran hospital where their daughter was lying in a coma, while Mohammadi covered Amini’s funeral in her Kurdish hometown Saqez, where the protests began. The two journalists have been held in Iran’s notorious Evin prison since last September and will be tried separately. Hamedi’s trial will begin on Tuesday, according to the judiciary. Despite repeated calls by rights groups for a public trial for the two journalists, Iran has ignored them.
