Iranian police arrested journalist Alireza Jabbari-Darestani at his Tehran home on September 23 and transferred him to an undisclosed location, amid a crackdown on media workers.
His whereabouts remain unknown.
Jabbari-Darestani covers arts, culture, and local news for the semiofficial Mehr news agency, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.
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.
