Narges Mohammadi, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, who participated in the opening of the 22nd Barcelona Human Rights Film Festival through a special video and the screening of her film, The White Torture, has been brutally arrested by Iranian authorities.
Narges Mohammadi was unable to travel to Barcelona because Iranian authorities are withholding her passport, so her husband, Taghi Rahmani, attended in her place.
The arrest took place in the city of Mashhad while Narges Mohammadi was peacefully demonstrating to demand justice for the death of Iranian human rights lawyer Khosrow Alikordi, who was found dead under suspicious circumstances earlier this month.
The Barcelona Human Rights Film Festival and its organizing body demand her immediate release, an end to the persecution of human rights defenders and fundamental freedoms, and unrestricted respect for freedom of expression and assembly.
Narges Mohammadi, Premio Nobel de la Paz, quien particip贸 en la inauguraci贸n de la 22陋 edici贸n del Festival de Cine y Derechos Humanos de Barcelona mediante un v铆deo especial y con la proyecci贸n de su pel铆cula La Tortura Blanca, ha sido brutalmente detenida por las autoridades iran铆es.
Narges Mohammadi no pudo viajar a Barcelona debido a que las autoridades iran铆es le mantienen retenido el pasaporte, por lo que asisti贸 en representaci贸n su marido, Taghi Rahmani.
La detenci贸n se produjo en la ciudad de Mashhad, mientras Narges Mohammadi se manifestaba pac铆ficamente para exigir justicia por la muerte del abogado iran铆 de derechos humanos Khosrow Alikordi, hallado sin vida en circunstancias sospechosas a principios de este mes.
Desde el Festival de Cine y Derechos Humanos de Barcelona y la entidad organizadora, exigimos su liberaci贸n inmediata, el cese de la persecuci贸n contra quienes defienden los derechos humanos y las libertades fundamentales, el respeto irrestricto a la libertad de expresi贸n y manifestaci贸n.
