Niloofar Hamedi and Elahe Mohammadi—the two journalists who first broke the news of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini who died in custody of Iran's morality police—have been branded as CIA agents by Iran.
According to a joint statement released by Iran’s ministry of intelligence and the intelligence organisation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards on Saturday, both journalists are currently lodged in Iran’s notorious Evin prison.
