    GOLDEN APRICOT Demands to Release Jafar Panahi

    12:14 - 22.05.10


    The administration of the Armenian annual film festival GOLDEN APRICOT
    joined a petition demanding the release of the Iranian film director
    Jafar Panahi's release.

    `The entire staff of GOLDEN APRICOT IFF, being convinced that
    imprisonment of Jafar Panahi, the humanitarian interpreter of Iranian
    cinema, is unfair; joins this initiative and signs this petition
    demanding his and his colleagues release from the prison.

    `Armenian spectators had a chance to explore the problems of women in
    the present Iranian reality in 2007, when Jafar Panahi's film
    "Offside" was shown within the framework of the 4th GOLDEN APRICOT
    IFF. Jafar Panahi deserves the right to be heard and must be given the
    freedom to create,' reads the petition.
