Iran is the world's third biggest prison for journalists, the press
freedoms group Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said in a report published on
Tuesday.
At
least 18 journalists are confirmed to be in detention in Iran, RSF said in its
annual "Round-up of journalists killed worldwide 2015."
Earlier
this month RSF published a separate annual Round-up of journalists detained,
held hostage or disappeared in 2015," in which it wrote: "Those held
in Iran include several arrested in November, the latest of many journalists to
be accused of membership of 'espionage networks.'”
That
report added that in Iran under the mullahs' rule "the judicial system is
controlled by the Supreme Leader and is manipulated by the Revolutionary Guards
in order to gag reporting critical of the regime."
RSF's
website lists the Iranian regime's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei as a Predator of
Freedom of Information.
