The Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance stated that for artists who have expressed regret, we will create a working environment.
According to ISNA News Agency, Mohammad Mehdi Esmaeili said regarding the lifting of work bans for all artists, that what our friends mentioned pertains to judicial matters, and professional discussions have their own specific regulations. For those who have expressed remorse and returned to the embrace of the people and society, we strive to provide a working environment. However, the story is different for those who continue to oppose the ideals of the Iranian people.
He emphasized that in the cultural and artistic domain, we need the presence of figures who are present with love and passion for the people and stand with the Iranian people.
During the recent protests in Iran, a large number of artists, including cinema actors who supported the protesters, were arrested, summoned, or banned from working.
The Iranian Minister of Culture had previously implicitly announced a work ban for female artists who removed their headscarves during the protests.
