Authorities in Iran have detained a woman journalist, local media reported on Sunday (February 5). Elnaz Mohammadi, the detained journalist works with a reformist newspaper Hammihan. Mohammadi's sister, who is also a journalist, is already in custody after reporting on Mahsa Amini's death.
Iran has been rocked by nationwide protests after the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini who was detained by Iran's morality police for her 'improper' clothing. The protests have led to deaths and arrests and there have also been calls for downfall of the clerical regime in the country.
Khamenei has agreed to pardon or commute the sentences of a "significant number" of convicts, some of whom were detained during the protests, said a statement posted on his website.
