My entry into the IRNA news agency has been banned, according to Niloufar Hamedi’s husband.
Mohammad Hossein Ajorlou, Niloufar Hamedi’s husband and a journalist, announced his dismissal from the IRNA news agency in a tweet.
He wrote that after about 13 years of working at IRNA, I was banned from entering the agency starting from the beginning of Bahman (January/February) and yesterday I received a letter of termination.
Niloufar Hamedi, Mr. Ajorlou’s wife, was a journalist who reported on the circumstances of the death and burial ceremony of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian Kurd, and was arrested for this reason.
The news of Mahsa Amini’s death triggered recent protests in Iran.
