NETPAC is outraged by the Iranian Court's sentence of Jafar Panahi and Muhammad Rasoulof to 6 years of jail and 20 years of not being allowed to make a film, travel outside Iran or to speak to the media. As long as these two great filmmakers are censored in this intolerable manner, then all of us who value film must fight for their right to create art that reflects the truth. We urge NETPAC members and others who love cinema to join the world film community in protest of this inhuman and unjustified sentence to sign this petition. Please pass this message on. If millions of people through the world sign this, we can make a difference.

NETPAC
In the twenty years since it was founded, NETPAC has become established as the leading platform for the discovery and promotion of Asian cinema.
The genesis of NETPAC in 1990 had coincided with the renaissance of Asian cinema. NETPAC gave early expression to the need to acknowledge and recognise the emergence of new cinematic talent among Asians. It took under its wing a quarterly publication, Cinemaya, which provided a forum for mostly Asian critics, writers and scholars to document and evaluate Asian films and subsequently add them to the Asian cinema canon.
