Rasoulof was released on Saturday and is currently resting at his home in Tehran. The director’s lawyer, Maryam Kianersi, told French News Agency AFPT that his incarceration has been suspended for two weeks. Rasoulof was incarcerated last July after posting on social media calling on Iranian security forces to stop their violent attacks on protesters who were demonstrating in the southwestern city of Abadan. Shortly after his arrest, Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old who had been detained by Iran’s morality police for allegedly violating the country’s mandatory hijab law, died while in custody, sparking nation-wide protests.
