Support detained Iranian music journalists

IT'S NOT often that music journalists find themselves at the sharp end of press freedom struggles - but Behrang Tonekaboni and Kayvan Farzin are. They were arrested at the offices of Farhang va Ahang, a monthly music journal in Iran, on 5 January.

The Committee to Protect Journalists (cpj.org) reports that Iran is currently holding at least 47 journalists.

To support Behrang Tonekaboni and Kayvan Farzin, please follow the links below and join the campaign launched by Amnesty UK.
