A day after release, Iran’s journalists charged for not wearing hijab

Two journalists who were released after a 17-month prison sentence – for their reports on Mahsa Amini’s death – have now been accused of violating Iran’s hijab laws, The Guardian reported. 

Niloofar Hamedi, 31, and Elaheh Mohammadi, 36, were released on Sunday on a 10 billion toman (£150,000) bail after appealing against their sentences of 12 and 13 years, respectively, for spreading propaganda, crime against national security, and collaborating with a foreign state.
