Reporters Without Borders, the Paris-based advocacy organization, joined a growing chorus of Iranians to urge the release of veteran journalist and documentary filmmaker Mohammad Nourizad.
"He is ailing and deprived from the right to treatment. His life is in danger," read a post on the organization’s official Persian Twitter account. The statement accused Iranian authorities of "arbitrarily" imprisoning the 68-year-old activist following an "unfair" trial.
