Bahman Ghobadi, a prominent Iranian filmmaker known for award-winning films such as
“A Time For Drunken Horses” and “Turtles Can Fly,” said that his brother, Behrouz, was arrested on November 4. Ghobadi told the International Campaign for Human Rights in Iran that the family has received no information about his condition since his arrest. He has asked the Iranian authorities to guarantee his health in detention and to respect his basic rights, including allowing him to contact his family and to have access to a lawyer. “He is innocent. He is my brother. He has done nothing other than help me with some of my films… I want to state through this interview that I am worried about my brother. My family is concerned about him, and we can’t obtain any information about his current condition.”
