The National Union of Journalists has strongly condemned the detention of an Iran International journalist’s family by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in Tehran.

There has been an acute escalation in the persecution of UK-based Iranian journalists – including scores of NUJ members – and their families.

Mostafa Sepahvand, Farhad Javadi Manesh, and Shapoor Qalehali Khani Noori appeared at Westminster Magistrates' Court today and are alleged to have targeted UK-based journalists working in Iran International. 

The union is urging international condemnation of the systematic targeting of UK based Persian journalists by Iranian authorities.

The union expressed its shock and outrage at the stabbing of presenter Pouria Zeraati, who was set upon by a group of assailants as he left his London home earlier today. Early reports say he is in a stable condition in hospital after suffering multiple knife wounds.

The union calls for action to be taken against Iran following revelations that the Tehran Revolutionary court in absentia tried the journalists on the charge of "propaganda against the Islamic Republic".
