The Iranian state newspaper said Farokhnezhad said nothing in the early days of the protests for his own interests.
The Iran newspaper wrote that Hamid Farokhnezhad said goodbye on set a few days ago but hadn’t told anyone he intended to leave the country. He sold all his belongings, even his mobile line, and went to the US to obtain permanent residency. This is the account of one of the filmmakers who worked with him on a recent project.
It seems that he had planned this in advance. Farokhnezhad realized he had to head to the US and suddenly refrained from posting stories and notes related to the recent social unrest. Unlike the early days of the unrest, he showed no reaction to this issue in recent weeks, meaning he said nothing for his personal interests and was no longer concerned about the youth of his country.
