ManiHaghighi speaks out on the “utterly rude behaviour” he experienced from Iranian authorities who kept him from leaving his own country
“We understand that no reason has been given to Mani Haghighi for the confiscation. The BFI London Film Festival supports Haghighi and all filmmakers in their freedom to make their films and present them around the world,” said a spokesperson for the film festival.
“Earlier this week, in solidarity with imprisoned Iranian filmmakers and the brave women of Iran who are challenging for their freedom, BFI London Film Festival filmmakers and delegates joined Festival Director, Tricia Tuttle, in a moment of solidarity and reflection,” the speaker added.
Iran has been under great disturbance following the death of a young Iranian woman named Mahsa Amini who was allegedly murdered by authorities. Widespread protests have since filled the country’s streets as thousands of people fight against the regime and stand up for their basic rights, especially women’s rights. According to human rights groups, hundreds of people have lost their lives thus far due to the government’s severe suppression.
