Shargh Newspaper, citing officials from the House of Cinema, has reported that about 100 filmmakers have been arrested or banned from leaving the country.
Shargh Newspaper journalist Farank Javaheri, quoting members of the Legal and Judicial Support Committee for Filmmakers at the House of Cinema, has reported on the tense conditions in cinema, stating that the process of canceling artistic contracts, work bans, and confiscation of artists’ passports continues.
During the nationwide protests following the death of Mahsa Amini in Iran, a large number of prominent cinema figures expressed solidarity with the protesters, and women like Katayoun Riahi and recently Taraneh Alidoosti removed their hijabs.
In this context, an article titled ‘Continuation of Nationwide Protests in Iran, Increase in Arrests and Intimidation’ has been published, addressing various aspects of this issue.
