Political prisoners in Iran 4: Mitra Farahani



4) Mitra Farahani

arrestata il 17 giugno 2009,
rilasciata su cauzione il 30 giugno 2009

Regista cinematografica e pittrice, 34 anni, Mitra Farahani is resident in France, in Paris, in 1998.
In 2004 he directed the film Tabous , in which he described as sexuality, largely repressed, desires and frustrations of modern Iranian society. That the film has of course brought the hostility of the regime in Iran and traditional environments, but also had considerable success, although it circulated clandestinely.
Previously, in the documentary Juste une femme , presented and awarded at the 2002 Berlin Film Festival , Mitra Farahani had described the story of a man becoming a woman, telling how, in a society where it is impossible to live free homosexuality, the only way out is to change sex (something that many gay Iranians are even if he does not talk much).
Farahami Mitra decided to visit his country after the elections, perhaps rashly - considered that the authorities have long marked his name in their black book - but with the understandable desire to be close to its people in such an important moment, and probably with the intention to shoot the camera at some stage the protest. After having identified at the passport control, the officials have not even made out of the airport in Tehran, and his friends they wait in vain. For two days, has been detained in the police to the airport, then was conducted in Evin prison.
June 30th has been released on payment of bail. However, were not returned the documents, so can not leave Iran, where the rest continues to be questioned by the security services and no one knows what the outcome will have his court case. Meanwhile
Mitra Farahani could tell via email to friends French spent his first night in his cell in Evin, almost surreal in the form of screenplay.
