Iran has charged two Germans with spying after they interviewed the son of a woman sentenced to death by stoning for adultery, reports say.
The charges come a day after they appeared on Iranian state TV and said they had been “tricked” by an activist in Germany into speaking with the family of Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani.
The pair were arrested in Tabriz, north-west Iran in October.
They have only been identified as a reporter and a photographer.
Germany has said it is doing all it can to try to secure their release.

I was really lucky that I was spared at least this public humiliation when I was in prison in Iran.
Respect to the two journalists that they took that risk, while most “journalists” just sit at their desks.
