In an Instagram post, Maziar Lorestani revealed the strange conditions of his life after the work ban.
I said to myself on the way back; Maziar Khan really “bought”. Maybe I’ll go work on Snap, how about that? I myself am confused in finding my way.. I really don’t know anything except writing, directing, acting and artistic matters. Making and acting in cinema, theater and television works, as well as writing many scenarios and a world of love for people and homeland, ancient rituals and legends, tribal stories, myths and mythologies with creative ideas, I cannot be left alone.
Until then, they kept telling me to bring the birth certificate (this process took a long time during the process of gender matching and three times of the Forensic Medicine Council and meeting with the hijab discussion and social disturbances), then when the birth certificate came, they said your beard is not perfect! Change your voice! And I, a tenant, and financially trapped, was deprived of work.
Did I embezzle and steal? Did I deceive someone and hypocritically raise people’s property? Have I wronged anyone? Did I do wrong?
