Jafar Panahi, the acclaimed Iranian director, is set to face trial once again in Iran. This new legal proceeding comes as he is charged with 'propaganda against the regime.'
Last year, Panahi received a sentence from Iran’s Revolutionary Court, which included one year in prison and a two-year travel ban, both imposed in absentia.
The upcoming trial raises concerns about the ongoing restrictions faced by artists and filmmakers in Iran, particularly regarding freedom of expression.
