Two female journalists who reported on the death of Mahsa Amini in Iranian custody have gone on trial before a Revolutionary Court. Niloufar Hamedi and Elaheh Mohammadi have been charged with "collaborating with the hostile US government" and "propaganda against the establishment".

Seventeen, including Ms Hamedi and Ms Mohammadi, are still in prison.
The trial has begun for one of the two female journalists who reported on the death of Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian Kurd who died in custody last year.

The two women were charged with propaganda against the state and conspiring against national security. During last year's protests, thousands were arrested and hundreds killed, including dozens of security personnel.

The new Hulu film "Boston Strangler" takes a fresh approach to the infamous serial-killer case by focusing on the two female newspaper reporters who were at the center of the story, several steps ahead of the all-male detectives and rival male reporters. The film is more in line with "She Said," the recent pic about the work of two female New York Times reporters in the pursuit of the Harvey Weinstein rape cases. Keira Knightley and Carrie Coon deliver standout performances as the compassionate women determined to get the truth out about the brutal murders of other women.
