RFL/RE – Award-winning Iranian director Jafar Panahi’s travel ban has been lifted after 14 years, his wife, Tahereh Saeedi, said on Instagram on April 25, adding that she and her husband were going to travel abroad “for a few days.” Panahi, 62, was temporarily released from prison last month after going on a hunger strike to protest “the illegal and inhumane behavior” of Iran’s judiciary. He was arrested in July amid a crackdown on dissent in response to protests over living conditions. Panahi won several international awards for films critiquing modern Iran, including the top 2015 Berlin prize for Taxi.
