Iranian security and intelligence officers arrested journalist Fahimeh Nazari in Tehran on November 16, amid a crackdown on media workers.
Nazari, a freelance reporter who covers local politics and history for several newspapers and magazines, used Twitter to cover the ongoing protest movement. Her account has been suspended since her arrest.
Iran has been gripped by protests demanding more freedoms and women's rights since the September death of a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, Mahsa Amini, in the custody of Tehran’s morality police.
There have since been Internet blackouts across the country, restrictions on search engines, and interference in social media activity.
Journalists have been prevented from doing their jobs by their own editors as well as Islamic Republic officials.
