How do you report on a major international story in a country from which you are banned - and while enduring significant pressure on you and your family?

This is the reality for journalists working in the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ News Persian team in London. The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ is banned from Iran, but staff at ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Persian have been reporting on the recent anti-government protests despite daily harassment and persecution of their families back home.

Razia Iqbal has been speaking to three ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Persian colleagues: Rana Rahimpour, Farnaz Ghazizadeh, and Jiyar Gol. What have the past few months been like for them?
