Taking a photograph, publishing a news story, writing an editorial critical of the government - all can be death-defying acts in Iran. Reporters Without Borders ranks Iran 164 out of the 167 countries in its 2005 worldwide press freedom index. Journalists are regularly tortured and imprisoned, and 85 newspapers have been shut down by authorities since 2000. In 2004 alone, 13 Iranian journalists were imprisoned, for reasons such as reporting on government corruption, calling for reform, and "insulting the Supreme Guide." Canadian photojournalist Zahra Kazemi, a native of Iran, was thrown in jail on June 23, 2003 for taking pictures of a demonstration outside of the Evin Prison in Tehran. In police custody, she was raped, tortured, and constantly beaten, until she died of a fractured skull 19 days later. Akbar Ganji, an Iranian investigative journalist, has been held in Evin Prison since 2000. His crime: "insulting religious edicts and figures." To protest censorship and repression, Ganji went on a hunger strike last year. He is pictured in the 46th day of his strike.
