associations. With this, the Branch 26 of Tehran&#8217;s Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Iman Afshari, has upheld the original verdict in full.<\/p>\n<p>He explained that the grounds cited for the verdict included making an \u201cunderground and problematic film against the establishment,\u201d supporting political and security prisoners, backing popular protests against the government, supporting the \u201cWoman, Life, Freedom\u201d slogan, signing and disseminating a statement in support of a lorry drivers\u2019 strike, \u201cpainting a bleak picture\u201d of the country\u2019s situation, and reposting a video clip of a collective performance of the anthem \u201cEy Iran\u201d in protest at the issuing and carrying out of death sentences.<\/p>\n<p>Panahi\u2019s lawyer noted that the ruling can be appealed to the Tehran Provincial Court of Appeal within 20 days of notification.<\/p>\n<div class=\"c-widget-related\" data-stories-id data-event=\"widget_related\">\n<div class=\"c-widget-related__title\"><b class=\"c-widget-related__title__text\" lang=\"en\">Related<\/b><\/div>\n<ul class=\"c-widget-related__list\">\n<li class=\"c-widget-related__item\">Oscar nominations 2026: \u2018Sinners\u2019 makes history with record-breaking 16 nods <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>The initial court ruling against Panahi was issued while he was abroad taking part in the publicity campaign for the film \u201cA Simple Accident\u201d, which, after winning the Cannes Palme d\u2019Or, was selected to represent France in the race for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the in absentia verdict, this prominent Iranian director returned to Iran on 30 March after attending the Oscars; his return coincided with the continuation of the war between the United States and Israel on the one hand and the Iranian authorities on the other.<\/p>\n<p>In 2022 and 2023, Panahi spent 86 days in Evin Prison on charges of \u201cpropaganda against the state\u201d.

propaganda against the Islamic Republic of Iran,&#8221; Mostafa Nili, the lawyer of the acclaimed and Cannes Palme d\u2019Or winner Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi, said in an interview with the Iranian media outlet &#8216;Emtedad&#8217;.Nili added that he was also handed a two-year travel ban and prohibited from joining political and social groups and associations. With this, the Branch 26 of Tehran&#8217;s Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Iman Afshari, has upheld the original verdict in full.He explained that the grounds cited for the verdict included making an \u201cunderground and problematic film against the establishment,\u201d supporting political and security prisoners, backing popular protests against the government, supporting the \u201cWoman, Life, Freedom\u201d slogan, signing and disseminating a statement in support of a lorry drivers\u2019 strike, \u201cpainting a bleak picture\u201d of the country\u2019s situation, and reposting a video clip of a collective performance of the anthem \u201cEy Iran\u201d in protest at the issuing and carrying out of death sentences.Panahi\u2019s lawyer noted that the ruling can be appealed to the Tehran Provincial Court of Appeal within 20 days of notification.The initial court ruling against Panahi was issued while he was abroad taking part in the publicity campaign for the film \u201cA Simple Accident\u201d, which, after winning the Cannes Palme d\u2019Or, was selected to represent France in the race for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film.Despite the in absentia verdict, this prominent Iranian director returned to Iran on 30 March after attending the Oscars; his return coincided with the continuation of the war between the United States and Israel on the one hand and the Iranian authorities on the other.In 2022 and 2023, Panahi spent 86 days in Evin Prison on charges of \u201cpropaganda against the state\u201d. He was released after going on a hunger strike, and after his appeal was accepted, which led to the annulment of the initial charges.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/culture\/2026\/06\/07\/cannes-winner-jafar-panahi-faces-prison-and-travel-ban-from-iran&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/78\/80\/95\/1200x675_cmsv2_0f6b43cd-965d-5b70-be74-7718a36f90cc-9788095.jpg&#8221;] Israel One killed and five injured in shooting attack in central Israel Canada Qatar&#8217;s emerging designers debut in Canada Europe News Nigerian army frees 360 abducted people in Borno, including children Culture news Hitler&#8217;s 70km phantom motorway, Germany&#8217;s longest autobahn ruin Israel One killed and five injured in shooting attack in central [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-1977399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1977399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1977399"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1977399\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1977399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1977399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1977399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
