Iran is facing mounting pressure to release the Washington Post's correspondent in Tehran, who was arrested more than a week ago in what was seen as the latest move against press freedom in the country.

Jason Rezaian, who has dual Iranian and American citizenship, was detained on 22 July along with his Iranian wife, Yeganeh Salehi, who is also a journalist. Iranian security forces raided their home and confiscated laptops and documents. An American couple, at least one of whom is believed to be a photojournalist, were arrested with them.
