Â鶹Éç

How do you report on a major international story in a country from which you are banned - and while enduring significant pressure on you and your family?

This is the reality for journalists working in the Â鶹Éç News Persian team in London. The Â鶹Éç is banned from Iran, but staff at Â鶹Éç Persian have been reporting on the recent anti-government protests despite daily harassment and persecution of their families back home.

Razia Iqbal has been speaking to three Â鶹Éç Persian colleagues: Rana Rahimpour, Farnaz Ghazizadeh, and Jiyar Gol. What have the past few months been like for them?
