Artemis Pebdani Instagram – RP @centerforhumanrights In a poignant scene censored from his final documentary, the renowned Iranian film director, Dariush Mehrjui, whispered to his wife, Vahideh Mohammadifar, “The headscarf is done, finished, come with me… Oh, you have such beautiful hair… My beauty…”
This touching moment takes on added significance when viewed in the backdrop of recent developments in Iran, where the state employs violence and repression to stifle dissent against its enforced-hijab law.
The murders of this illustrious director and his wife in Iran this past weekend transpired within this larger context and against the backdrop of several enigmatic deaths among Iranian cinema figures in the past year. This has left some questioning the role and responsibility of the Iranian government in these cases.
