Iran Arrests Journalists After Refusing Gag Order on Protests

Iranian authorities have summoned journalists across the country and demanded they sign written commitments not to report on the ongoing protests, according to I24 News.

Journalists reportedly refused to comply, prompting security forces to arrest several of them.

The move highlights the regime’s escalating crackdown on independent reporting as unrest spreads nationwide.

Media workers say the demand amounted to an outright ban on covering public demonstrations and police violence.

Press freedom groups warn the arrests are part of a wider effort to silence information flows and prevent footage of protests from reaching the outside world.
