This week, Abbas Kiarostami and his fellow French actress Juliette Binoche Panahi criticized the situation in the Festival de Cannes, where he had been invited as a jury, and demanded their immediate release. Some governments have also protested but the reaction has been rather timid in both official circles as independents, not to mention the fact the limited impact in Spain in general and in the film world in particular. Some sites have been enabled to show solidarity with the director ( Jafar Panahi Free , Cineuropa and others that can see in the Wikipedia entry at the beginning of the text), but if anyone can stop this real abuse of human rights is organization Amnesty International has organized a campaign collection of signatures with a letter calling for his release .

Lift up your voices and shout for the release of Jafar Panahi and all those artists arrested simply for expressing themselves freely.
