Iran puts pressure on its journalists

An Iranian reporter with the provincial weekly, Karfto, has been jailed for two years. Kaveh Javanmard was tried in secret and not allowed to have a lawyer. Officials have also closed down another provincial weekly, Ayaran, for publishing statements "likely to inflame the public". And two journalists - Mehrnoushe Solouki and Parnaz Azima - have been banned from leaving the country. (Via IFEX)
