New Delhi, Dec. 2 -- Tehran Revolutionary Court has sentenced Jafar Panahi - the celebrated Iranian director who recently won the Palme d'Or - to one year in prison, a two-year travel ban, and a ban on membership in any political or social organisations, his lawyer confirmed on December 1, 2025.

The ruling, delivered in absentia, accuses Panahi of "propaganda activities" against the Iranian regime - a familiar charge in repeated legal cases against the director over the years.
