The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) is urging Iran to stop its imprisonment and harassment of Kurdish journalists amid what human rights groups have denounced as a crackdown on members of the minority group.

statement late on May 12, the New York-based media-freedom watchdog cited news reports and sources familiar with the cases as saying that Iranian authorities had arrested at least eight Kurdish journalists since May 2020.
Three of them Navid Seyed-Mohammadi, Jafar Osafi, and Nasrullah Lashani remain in detention. Iranian authorities targeting of Kurdish journalists adds a dimension of ethnic discrimination to the country s already dire campaign to imprison members of the press, CPJ Middle East and North Africa researcher Justin Shilad said.
