An Iranian journalist who stood up against oppression faced a brutal assassination attempt in New York City.Today, justice has spoken the attackers have been sentenced to 25 years in prison.

This is more than a verdict.It is a victory for press freedom, a tribute to journalistic courage, and a message to the world that truth cannot be intimidated.

When journalists risk their lives to expose injustice, they carry the weight of freedom for us all.
And when justice stands with them the world becomes a little braver, a little freer.
