Iranian filmmaker Hossein Rajabian, his brother Mehdi, and Yousef Emadi, both musicians, were tortured until they ‘confessed’ to charges of ‘insulting Islamic sanctities’ and ‘illegal audio-visual activities.’ Their ‘crimes’? Distributing music and making films that challenge taboo subjects in Iran like women’s rights. After a 3-minute trial, the men were sentenced to six years in prison. Now their recent appeal has failed and they could be jailed at any moment. Demand the Iranian authorities immediately drop all charges.
