The U.N. has announced that its premier prize for press freedom has been awarded to three imprisoned Iranian female journalists “for their commitment to truth and accountability.”
The United Nations announced Tuesday night that its premier prize for press freedom has been awarded to three imprisoned Iranian female journalists “for their commitment to truth and accountability.”
The third winner is Narges Mohammadi, who has worked for many years as a journalist and is one of Iran’s most prominent activists. Zainab Salbi, chair of the international jury of media professionals that chose the winners, said the brave work of the three winners “led to a historical women-led revolution.”
While nearly 100 journalists have been arrested amid the demonstrations, Hamedi and Elaheh Mohammadi’s reporting was crucial in the days after Amini’s death to spread word about the anger that followed. Hamedi works for the reformist newspaper Shargh, while Mohammadi works for the reformist newspaper Ham-Mihan.
