Former Political Prisoner and Movie Director Asks Germans Not to Forget Iranian People
According to a report by AFP, former political prisoner, Mahnaz Mohammadi, has asked Germans attending her film's Berlin premiere not to forget Iranian people!
The Iranian film crew behind "Roya", which recounts the torment and trauma of a political prisoner in Tehran's Evin prison, urged the Iranian people "not to be forgotten" at the film's German premiere. Director Mahnaz Mohammadi, 51, likened the "existence of the Iranian people today" to the unbearable life endured by the film's imprisoned protagonist, Roya.
Mohammadi, in an interview with AFP on Wednesday at the screening at a Berlin cinema, said Iranian prisoners are being put to death every four to six hours in the country "without justice." (Iranian authorities executed at least 1,639 people in 2025 according to the NGOs Iran Human Rights (IHR) and Together Against the Death Penalty (ECPM)).
She said she had been forced to witness several hangings while imprisoned in Iran herself.
The film is based primarily on Mohammadi's own experience. The filmmaker and human rights activist was imprisoned "six or seven times" over the past two decades, including in Tehran's infamous Evin prison.
The film "is just a glimpse of what is happening in Iran at the moment", insisted the film's Iranian producer, Farzad Pak, at the premiere. "Thousands of people are in prison, and they are in line for execution. Please do not forget about Iran!"
