Niousha Noor Instagram – Day 140.
Jafar Panahi, one of Iran’s – and the world’s – best-known filmmakers, is now on hunger strike to protest his unjust and inhumane continued incarceration.
I’m sharing some of his work because you’ve likely seen or heard of them. Rich in humanistic themes, his films cover wide-ranging stories of Iran’s social and cultural struggles.
Jafar Panahi, Mohammad Rasoulof, Toomaj Salehi and Hossein Mohammadi are among the many filmmakers and artists currently in prison for criticizing Iran’s regime.
They are *also* among the thousands of protesters who have been jailed since September 2022 for the same reason — four of whom have been executed.
The Islamic Republic’s draconian treatment of its own people, as well as its complete disregard for the rule of law, are tactics aimed at silencing those who have criticized their cruelty, and should be met with global condemnation.
A small step in the right direction is the Mahsa Act. Please watch human rights lawyer @gissounia ‘s videos as she explains what this bill would do and what we can do to support it.
