She is the editor-in-chief of the website ''Kanoon Zanan Irani'' ("Focus on Iranian Women").〔 Baniyaghoob is married to fellow journalist Bahman Ahmadi Amou'i, an editor at ''Sarmayeh'', a business newspaper.〔 == Journalism == While still a student at Allameh Tabatabai University, Baniyaghoob began working in journalism for the daily newspaper ''Hamshahri''. She focused on women's issues from the beginning of her career, though this often meant being fired from various jobs.〔 She covered countries including Afghanistan, Lebanon, and Syria, and worked at a series of pro-reform newspapers, most of which were later banned by the Iranian government.〔 While working at the pro-reform daily ''Sarmayeh'', she wrote a section reporting on women's economic issues. The section was cancelled in 2008 by the newspaper's more conservative management.〔 She was first imprisoned by Iranian authorities in June 2006 while reporting on an assault by security forces on a women's rights rally.〔 Authorities charged her with "acting against national security" and "participating in an illegal demonstration", but she was acquitted in January 2007. On 8 March 2007, she was again arrested during a rally for International Women's Day, held near Iran's parliament building. She was then taken Evin Prison and interrogated blindfolded in the "notorious" Section 209, the detention center of the Iranian secret police. She was held there for one week, and later wrote a book about the experience. In 2008, she was imprisoned a third time for covering a women's rally, on charges of "disruption of public order, failure to obey police orders and propagandizing against the Islamic regime".〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jila Baniyaghoob」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
