February 6, 2020.  Reporters Without Borders says dozens of Iranian journalists have been interrogated, threatened, searched, and forced to close social-media accounts since the Ukrainian passenger plane crashed in Tehran in January.  At least 21 journalists across Iran have been summoned and questioned by intelligence officials working for the IRGC or the Intelligence Ministry.  The Paris media watchdog said “the journalists had dared to express anger after reporting a “state lie” about the January 8 plane tragedy as the truth.”  See “Reporters Without Borders: Iranian Journalists Are Victims Of Jet Crash Lies," RFE/RL, February 6, 2020.
