Iran's Revolutionary Court has sentenced award-winning filmmaker Jafar Panahi to five years and one month in prison and ordered the confiscation of all his assets, his lawyer Mostafa Nili told the Iranian news outlet Emtedad. Nili said Tuesday that Branch 26 of Tehran's Revolutionary Court also banned Panahi from leaving Iran and using social media for two years. The ruling was issued in absentia, without Panahi being notified of the hearing. The lawyer said Panahi learned of the new case after his bank accounts were frozen last week. Court documents described him as being outside Iran, although he had returned to the country during Iran's war with the US and Israel earlier this year. Nili said an arrest warrant had also been issued for Panahi on a day when the filmmaker was attending a hearing in another case at the same court. He said Panahi currently faces three open cases.
