New Iran prosecutor urged to free journalists - website
But one of the signatures, Mashallah Shamsolvaezin, told Reuters 38 journalists were currently in jail in Iran, without giving details on when and where they were detained.
Business daily Sarmayeh last week said that according to some estimates "Mortazavi closed down 120 publications".
Rights groups say thousands of people, including senior pro-reform politicians, were detained after the election, which the opposition says was rigged to secure hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's re-election.
Most have been since released, but others remain in jail.
The authorities deny opposition charges of vote fraud.
