Imprisoned Iranian journalists Elaheh Mohammadi, Niloofar Hamedi and Nasim Soltan Beigi, among other women prisoners, were restricted from contact outside for one month, after they chanted slogans about "unfair sentences" when high-ranking judicial authorities visited Tehran’s Evin prison on 27 December. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) strongly condemns the punitive actions taken against them and calls on the Iranian authorities to release all imprisoned journalists and media workers.

IFJ condemns Israel’s seemingly deliberate targeting and killing of journalists in Gaza following a drone strike that killed three media workers on 7 January.
On 7 January, Al Jazeera journalist and cameraman Hamza Al-Dahdouh, son of Al Jazeera’s Gaza bureau chief, Wael Al-Dahdouh, and freelance videographer Mustafa Thuraya, who worked for Agence France Presse, were killed in an Israeli drone strike while travelling on assignment in a vehicle, according to Al Jazeera, near the southern city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip, local and international media reported.
The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) joins its affiliate, the Palestinian Journalists’ Syndicate (PJS), in condemning the killings of Palestinian journalists in Gaza, refutes Israel’s official stand that there were terrorists in the car, and reiterates that the deliberate assassination of civilians, including journalists, is a war crime.
