Mere weeks after sharing her harrowing experiences of being targeted at Women Press Freedom's Transnational Repression Roundtable in Ottawa, Canada, the disturbing details of yet another plot against Iranian-American journalist Masih Alinejad have come to light.

We commend the US justice system for acknowledging the grave risks faced by women journalists like Masih and reaffirm the urgent need to protect human rights and hold oppressive regimes accountable.
