Since Iran’s Constitutional Revolution in 1905 and the birth of modern media in the country, successive Iranian governments have intimidated, imprisoned, tortured and killed journalists and activists who use the media to share information with others. This pattern of brutality has worsened since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. The Islamic Republic has consistently been one of the world’s worst perpetrators of crimes against journalists and information activists for the past four decades.
