Elnaz, summoned to the prosecutor's office for an interview and then arrested, is the twin sister of Elaheh Mohammadi, a journalist from the same newspaper, in prison since 29 September on charges of "propaganda against the system" and "collusion against national security" for her article on Mahsa's funeral.


    Meanwhile, local media are reporting the news of a one-year prison sentence and a two-year ban on leaving the country for the manager of the 'Mobin-24' site and the Iran Times information channel, Hossein Yazdi.

According to 'Khabaronline', he was arrested at his home in Isfahan in early December for supporting the protests.
