As Iran nears elections in June, the government has launched renewed assault on the media with arrests, repression, and harassment. Join us for a special screening of „Forced Confessions,“ a film documenting the history of this tactic in Iran, followed by a discussion exploring the political, social, and personal implications of criminalizing the press, along with the worrying trends under new governments in Egypt, Tunisia, and Libya.
(Bonus: Ticket holders will receive a personal copy of CPJ’s annual publication, Attacks on the Press.)
