La giornalista italiana Cecilia Sala, in una foto diffusa il 27 dicembre 2024. "Cecilia Sala è stata arrestata a Teheran giovedì 19 dicembre ed è in carcere, in una cella di isolamento, da una settimana. È stata portata nella prigione di Evin, quella dove vengono tenuti i dissidenti, e il motivo del suo incomprensibile arresto non è ancora stato formalizzato. Rendiamo pubblica questa terribile notizia solo ora perché le autorità italiane e i genitori di Cecilia ci avevano chiesto di stare in silenzio, un silenzio che si sperava avrebbe potuto portare a una rapida liberazione, che purtroppo non c'è ancora stata".
