Behind closed doors trials are due to get underway on Monday and Tuesday of award-winning journalists Elaheh Mohamadi and Niloufar Hamedi, who broke the story about Mahsa Amini’s death in September.

The women, who both have a prestigious record of on-the-ground reporting on social affairs in Iran, have been kept in jail since first being arrested eight months ago and are accused of conspiring with hostile foreign powers, a charge which potentially carries a penalty of up to 10 years imprisonment.
