Iran puts journalist on trial for covering protests over woman's death in custody
- Iranian journalist Elaheh Mohammadi went on trial behind closed doors on charges related to her coverage of the funeral of Mahsa Amini.
- Mohammadi and another journalist, Niloofar Hamedi, have been accused of "colluding with hostile powers" for their coverage of Amini's death.
- The charge potentially carries the death penalty under Islamic law.
- The two journalists have been held in Iran's notorious Evin prison since last September and will be tried separately.
- Amini's death in custody last year triggered mass protests across Iran for months.
