“We have to pay a price, and every person will pay some price,” says acclaimed filmmaker
July 24, 2019 – The sentencing of award-winning filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof to one year in prison for the content of his films has highlighted the perilous political landscape independent artists must navigate in Iran.
“Iranian cinema has won international acclaim despite stifling censorship and the ongoing persecution of artists,” said Hadi Ghaemi, executive director of the Center for Human Rights in Iran (CHRI).
“Rasoulof’s only crime was pursuing an artistic vision that didn’t support government narratives about Iranian culture and society,” he added.
Rasoulof was also banned from “membership in political and social parties and organizations” for two years, he told CHRI on July 21, the day after he received the verdict.
