Iranian authorities arrested a journalist who published interviews with families of death row inmates sentenced in connection with anti-hijab protests, a report said.
“Mehdi Beikoghli, head of the political service at Etemad daily, was arrested last night,” the newspaper said on its website, AFP reported.
Mahsa Amini was killed following her arrest by Iran’s controversial morality police for not wearing her hijab properly.
The arrested journalist interviewed several families of people sentenced to death over the protests, AFP reported.
“His wife wrote on Twitter that Mehdi’s cellphone, computer and personal belongings were seized during the arrest,” Etemad said.
More than 200 people, including members of the security forces, have died since the protests started, according to a statement made last month by Iran’s top security agency. More than 2,000 people have been charged, according to judicial authorities.
