Torture of Irani Women is Focus of PBS NEWSHOUR, Center for Investigative Reporting Exclusive

By /

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (June 10, 2011) – PBS NEWSHOUR marks the two-year anniversary of Iran’s “Green Movement” with an exclusive report about the government crackdown that followed the disputed presidential election. A collaboration with the Center for Investigative Reporting, the report airs tonight, Friday, June 10, 2011 and features the courageous work of an Iranian journalist and the first, heart-wrenching account of a female demonstrator who says after she was arrested, she was raped, beaten and tortured by the Iranian government.

Coverage continues online at pbs.org/newshour, with a web exclusive featuring “Samira”, a young Irani rap singer who uses her music to give voice to those who cannot speak out.
