It is unclear what the charges against Panahi are in this case.

According to Nili, the case file stated that Panahi was living outside Iran , though the director had returned to Iran on March 30, 2026 shortly after the ceremony for the 98th Academy Awards, in which his latest film ”It Was Just an Accident” made it to the nomination stage as France’s candidate in the Best International Feature Film Category. Over the past two decades, Panahi has had frequent run-ins with the Iranian authorities.

In 2010, the revered auteur — known globally also for other prize-winning works such as “The Circle,” “Offside,” “This is Not a Film,” “Taxi” and “No Bears” — was banned from making movies, speaking to the press and traveling, though he surreptitiously kept making them anyway. In 2022, Panahi was arrested in connection with protests by a group of filmmakers but was released about seven months later.

The ban was lifted in April 2023, and Iranian authorities allowed Panahi to travel to Cannes to launch “It Was Just an Accident.” Panahi subsequently traveled widely to promote the drama, which centers around an outpouring of strong feelings by a group of former prisoners toward a torturous guard and stems from his incarceration. But he returned to Iran despite the fact that, at that point, he faced a one-year prison sentence in his home country and a climate of escalating tension that made his return very risky.

“I am the kind of person who needs to be in his country,” Panahi told Variety . “I need to breathe there and work there.
