Iran jails filmmaker Mohammed Rasoulof for six months over his documentary "The Camel in the Wind,"

Iran's Revolutionary Court has sentenced filmmaker Saeed Roustayi, the writer and director of the film "Brothers Leila," to six months' imprisonment due to his participation in the Cannes Film Festival last May. The court did not provide details on the reason for its decision, but it mentioned that Roustayi would not be able to work in film production for five years. The film received international attention after participating in the Cannes Film Festival without official permission from Tehran, which banned the film's release on the grounds of opposing the Iranian regime.
