US rights group urges release of Iranian activist

It said Shiva Nazar Ahari, founder of the Committee of Human Rights Reporters in Tehran, faces “trumped-up charges” including “actions against national security” and “propaganda against the regime” for her participation in demonstrations and other human rights activism.
