\"\"VOA \u2014 TEHRAN \u2014 <\/span>Iranian authorities have released journalist Elnaz Mohammadi from the Hammihan newspaper on bail one week after her arrest, media reported Sunday, but her sister, also a reporter, remains in custody.<\/p>\n

Elnaz Mohammadi was detained after going to the prosecutor’s office “for an explanation” but has since been “released from Evin prison on bail,” the reformist daily Hammihan reported.<\/p>\n

Her sister Elahe Mohammadi was arrested on September 29 after reporting for Hammihan from the funeral of Mahsa Amini’s funeral and remains in custody.<\/p>\n

Iran has witnessed nationwide protests since the September 16 death in custody of Amini, a 22-year-old ethnic Kurd, who had been arrested for an alleged breach of strict dress rules for women.<\/p>\n

The funeral procession in Amini’s hometown of Saqez in Kurdistan province turned into one of the first protest actions, followed by more than four months of unrest.<\/p>\n

Elahe Mohammadi was charged with “propaganda against the system and conspiracy to act against national security.\u201d<\/p>\n

Authorities say hundreds of people, including dozens of security personnel, have been killed during protests.<\/p>\n

Thousands of Iranians, including public figures, journalists and lawyers have been arrested.<\/p>\n

Ten of the journalists arrested over the protests are still in custody, Tehran Journalists Association said.<\/p>\n

Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei agreed last week to pardon or commute the sentences of a “significant number” of convicts, some of whom were detained during the protests, on the occasion of the 44th anniversary of the 1979 Islamic revolution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
