Dear Friends,

At a time when Iranian journalists and media are in permanent danger from the unprecedented crackdown in Iran, Reporters Without Borders (RSF), in cooperation with Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Dr Shirin Ebadi, is launching a special Iran media help desk to provide them with the digital security support they need to keep covering events in their country.

Everything has been set up in order to ensure that Iranian journalists and media can work as safely as possible. This includes the rapid provision of VPNs, mirror websites to circumvent censorship, urgent financial grants, legal assistance and other provisions.

Despite running major risks, Iranian journalists are courageously covering the evolving situation in an increasingly hostile and complex environment. As their ability to continue reporting is crucial if the Iranian and international public is to be kept abreast of developments, we must be unfailing in the support we provide.

"Supporting journalists in Iran is supporting the voice of freedom,” says Dr Shirin Ebadi. Begin supporting them now through our new Iran media help desk.
