The move was in apparent response to the director’s widely viewed Instagram video criticizing the government’s brutal response to recent protests
As a wave of protests continued to escalate across Iran, officials seized the passport and barred the departure of filmmaker Mani Haghighi, who is also a Canadian citizen, in apparent response to the director’s widely viewed Instagram video criticizing the government’s brutal response to the protests.
In late September Mr. Haghighi recorded an Instagram video in which he denounced the government’s crackdowns in calm Farsi. Within days it had received 20 million views on his account, and tens of millions more on others. That film had a successful debut at the Toronto International Film Festival last month. He was headed to the airport gate on Thursday to attend its screening in London, Mr. Haghighi said, when he was barred from leaving.
