Iran releases reformist journalist on bail week after arrest
[IsraelTimes] Iranian authorities have released journalist Elnaz Mohammadi from the Hammihan newspaper on bail one week after her arrest, media reports say, but her sister, also a news hound, remains in jug.

Elnaz Mohammadi was detained after going to the prosecutor’s office "for an explanation," but has since been "released from Evin prison on bail," the reformist daily Hammihan reports today.

Her sister Elahe Mohammadi was arrested on September 29 after reporting for Hammihan from the funeral of Mahsa Amini, and remains in jug.

has witnessed nationwide protests since the September 16 death in jug of Amini, a 22-year-old ethnic Kurd, who had been arrested for an alleged breach of strict dress rules for women.

The funeral procession in Amini’s hometown of Saqez in Kurdistan province turned into one of the first protest actions, followed by more than four months of unrest.

Elahe Mohammadi was charged with "propaganda against the system and conspiracy to act against national security."

Authorities say hundreds of people, including dozens of security personnel, have been killed during protests.

Thousands of Iranians, including public figures, journalists, and lawyers have been arrested.

Ten of the journalists arrested over the protests are still in jug, Tehran Journalists Association said.
