Niloofar Hamedi (Persian: نیلوفر حامدی; born 22 October 1992) is an Iranian journalist who works for the reformist daily newspaper Shargh.[1] She was arrested during the Mahsa Amini protests for breaking the news about Mahsa Amini and reporting on her treatment by Iran's Morality Police.[2][3] Hamedi is also known for her work as one of the first journalists to have interviewed the family and lawyer for imprisoned writer Sepideh Rashnu, and she published an investigative report on her case.[4][5] Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2023.

Report on Mahsa Amini and arrest

On 16 September 2022, Hamedi gained access to Kasra Hospital in Tehran, where 22-year-old Mahsa Amini was being treated following her detention by the morality police for allegedly wearing her compulsory hijab inappropriately. Later that day, and around the time of Amini's death, Hamedi tweeted a photo of Amini's parents hugging and crying in the hospital. That picture quickly spread along with Hamedi's reporting on Amini's death, and eventually spiraled into nationwide protests.[6]

As a result of her news coverage, Hamedi was arrested by security forces on 21 September,[7] following a wave of arrests that targeted journalists and students.[8] Hamedi's Twitter account, where she had originally posted the influential photo of Amini's parents, was suspended without explanation.[9] Her charges include colluding with the intention of acting against national security and propaganda against the state.[10]

According to Hamedi's lawyer, Mohammad Ali Kamfirouzi, she has been interrogated and is being held in solitary confinement at Tehran's Evin Prison.[6][9] On 4 November 2022, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards and Intelligence ministry issued a joint statement, filled with unsubstantiated claims, accusing Hamedi and Elaheh Mohammadi, another female journalist who had reported on Amini's funeral, of being foreign agents engaged in “multi-dimensional wars” organized by “Western and Zionist intelligence agencies… to carry out serious and uninterrupted planning with the aim of influencing different social layers, especially in areas related to women”. [11][12][13][14][15] The statement incorrectly claimed that Niloofar Hamedi, 30, had published a photo of Mahsa Amini in a hospital bed that went viral on social media. Yet Hamedi, who works for the Shargh newspaper in Tehran, never tweeted a photo of Amini in a hospital bed; she had only tweeted a photo of Mahsa’s parents (father and grandmother according to some reports[16]) embracing in the hospital after her death.[15]
