Press freedom groups Monday condemned as "outrageous" the lengthy jail sentences handed to the two Iranian journalists who exposed the case of Mahsa Amini, saying both women were merely doing their jobs. Amini died in September 2022 in police custody after being arrested for allegedly violating Iran's strict dress rules for women. Her death, which activists say was caused by a blow to the head in accusations denied by Tehran, sparked months of protests, which have now lost intensity in the face of a fierce crackdown.
