This year, DW's Farsi editorial office (dw_persian) celebrates its 60th anniversary – and it is facing sanctions and intimidation from the Iranian regime. How do our colleagues deal with the situation? Read more in the press release:
Most DW offerings have been blocked in Iran for years, with the last remaining open channel – Instagram –blocked as of September. Editorial staff are being harassed. How are colleagues dealing with the stress?
In late October, the Iranian regime accused the Farsi newsroom of supporting terrorism. The subsequent sanctions mean they are banned from entering Iran, their assets in Iran were confiscated, and most painfully: they are cut off from their family and friends."I do not contact my relatives so as not to put them in danger. A single message is enough to establish a supposed connection to the 'enemy' and to reinforce any accusations of espionage.
And that's exactly what the editorial team is doing now, more than ever. The program started as a half-hour radio broadcast in 1962; today, DW Farsi distributes its offerings via the DW website and social media – Instagram, YouTube, Twitter and Telegram. The program's mission to build an intercultural bridge and explain events in and from Germany has expanded. The nearly 40-member editorial team reports primarily about and for Iran.
