An Iranian-Canadian director says he was unable to attend a film festival in London Friday as Iranian authorities prevented his departure.
Two weeks earlier, Haghighi posted a video criticizing Iran's mandatory hijab law and recent crackdown on youth protesters.
Haghighi said that he believes authorities have kept him in Tehran to watch over him and to prevent the director from speaking out. “Being here in Tehran right now, is one of the greatest joys of my life,” said Haghighi in a video. “If this is a punishment for what I've done, then by all means, bring it on.”
