Reporters sans frontires - Call to both second-round candidates to make urgent press freedom reforms and prisoner releases

Reporters sans fronti�res - Iran: "Reporters Without Borders has called on the two second-round candidates in Iran's presidential poll to, if elected, make urgent and essential press freedom reforms and release five journalists and three webloggers still in jail.
'Freedom of expression cannot be guaranteed in this country as long as imprisoning journalists is a systematic practice. That is why the future president must reform the press so as to decriminalise press offences and guarantee free expression without discrimination by language, religion or political opinion', said the organisation. "
