After spending the last 7 months detained in Tehran’s Evin prison, Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi has been released on bail. In his latest effort to fight his imprisonment, Panahi initiated a hunger strike earlier this week, refusing food, water, or medicine.
, Nikbakht argued that the 10-year statute of limitations on the charge had expired and was not enforceable. The Iran Supreme Court agreed, yet Panahi was still held in prison. The charges will go through a retrial in the future, but the decision should have immediately released Panahi on bail.
Earlier this week, Panahi wrote a letter, stating, “Today, like many people trapped in Iran, I have no choice but to spend my dearest property… I will refrain from eating and drinking any kind of food or medicine. I will remain in this situation so long that my lifeless body may be released from prison. With love to Iran and the people of my land.”
