Mohammad Mosaed was arrested; a journalist who tweeted: Millions of Iranians do not have internet
Mohammad Mosaed, a journalist in Iran, has been arrested and there is no information about his condition or whereabouts.
According to announcements made by Mohammad Mosaed's relatives on social media, this economic journalist was arrested at his home by the Islamic Republic's security agencies on December 1.
Mr. Musaed, who previously worked at Sharq newspaper but was made unemployed due to security pressures, had more than 32,000 followers on Twitter and more than 13,000 members on his Telegram channel, reporting on economic issues.
He had tweeted two times during the protests in Iran, and in the first he wrote: "In the absence of the internet, metropolises have become thousands of small, densely packed villages. When communication devices are cut off, the horizon is reduced to a few meters, and it no longer matters how many kilometers or thousands of kilometers you are away. Say hello to the dancing hyenas equipped with the internet, young minister."
His second tweet was in English and received a huge response. Mohammad Mosaed wrote: “Tak Tak Hello free world… I used 42 proxies to write this. Millions of Iranians don’t have internet. Can you hear us?”
The journalist's Twitter has been inaccessible since Saturday.
