Iran jails tenth journalist

Iran continues to imprison journalists and close newspapers, ignoring international concern about human rights. Yaghoub Salaki Nia, a contributor to several banned outlets, such as Shamesse Tabriz, Ahrar and Omid Zanjan, became the tenth journalist to be jailed. Last week, Iran's Authorisation and Surveillance Commission of the Press also ordered the closure of the quarterly philosophy magazine Madresseh for "apostasy". It had published an interview with an intellectual cleric, Mohammad Mojtahed Shabestari. (Via IFEX)
