#Iran: RSF and the CPJ (@pressfreedom) are deeply alarmed by the Iranian regime's ongoing nationwide internet blackout, which has cut off journalists from the outside world for nearly 3 months. This sustained assault on press freedom is a daily struggle for local reporters trying to operate inside the country, and must end at once. rsf.org/en/cpj-rsf-war…

In 2025 we supported 800+ journalist - 96% of them in hostile press freedom environments. Of the journalists we surveyed 90% kept reporting after their legal case. Legal support doesn't just protect individuals, it keeps independent journalism alive . media-defence.shorthandstories.com/2025-impact-re…
