Committee to Protect Journalists:

New York, January 9, 2015--A new wave of arrests and prosecutions has been carried out by Iranian authorities in the past month, cementing the country's status as one of the world's leading jailers of journalists, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.

"Iran has started the new year as it ended the old: by arresting journalists," said CPJ's Middle East and North Africa program coordinator, Sherif Mansour. "President Hassan Rouhani has not lived up to expectations that he would usher in a new era for the Iranian press. The very least he can do now is publicly and unequivocally call for their release."
