Trust cinemaNaser Fakuhi in The newspaper of trust He wrote: On the night of October 22, 1402, Dariush Mehrjooi and his wife Vahida Mohammadifar were brutally murdered in their villa, and even after a year has passed since this tragedy, the mysterious twists and turns of this crime have not been clarified and no one is satisfied with the progress of the case and the unraveling of the knot. It does not show.
But this crime quickly became one of the most important news in Iran and the world and had the effect of a shocking earthquake in the cultural, artistic and cinema society of the country. This matter was important not only because of the strong presence of Dariush Mehrjooi in the cinema and the cultural and literary field of Iran for more than fifty years, but it was strengthened in the sense that following another hard and sad psychological and social blow in the field of culture, that is death The painful death of Pour Ahmad took place six months before on April 16, 1402. In the case of Pourahmad, the Iranian Directors Association and his family declared the death a “suicide” and even “suspicious”. In this way, a collective fear or paranoia engulfed the society one year after the protest movements of the fall of 1401, which wounded the conscience of the Iranian society and increased the rift among social activists and mistrust of the government.
These events occurred while the cultural policy of the 13th government (in parallel with its other policies) was extremely contractionary and offended many people of culture, especially cinema, and practically caused the cycle and useful cultural movements to stop working in the country. The process that was one of the main reasons for the protests of 1401 and let’s not forget that with the impact and psychological-social damage caused by the corona disease between 1398 and 1400 with hundreds of thousands of victims, our people needed much more peace and vitality to be able to return to relations resume normal. But contractionary policies in the cultural and other fields practically brought the work to a standstill everywhere and increased the international pressure on Iran. In such a way that the killing of Dariush Mehrjooi and his wife and similar cases and the closing of the political space and dialogue and the increase of mistrust and social collapse from that time until the election of the 14th government – which today is desperately trying to open up and find solutions to restore trust to the people and Creating better relations and removing unfair sanctions against Iran is always more. Therefore, perhaps this painful event can be considered as a key that was struck so that social and cultural policies turn to moderation and hopes are revived at least a little in the hearts.
The fact that today the great powers and the criminal government like Netanyahu are strongly seeking to destabilize the region and instigate a war against Iran, destroy Iran’s relations with its neighbors and involve America in a new war in the region, we believe that it is only The socio-political solution (except for the legitimate defense of the country, which is the right of all countries in the world) to stop the process of social collapse and restore even partial trust in the people, is to open more social and cultural freedoms. The more justice can be spread, the more people feel that the authorities are thinking about improving their situation and show this not in words but in action, the more all our decision-makers, like all our people, understand what political and social radicalism is. from above or from below and trying for hasty transformations and accusing this and that and inciting violence will probably not lead to the worsening of the situation and perhaps with the loss of all social and cultural achievements, the possibility of reversing the currents and the success of the new government in Improving the situation and creating balance in internal and external relations will increase.
Let’s not forget that even if we consider our situation to be very unfavorable, there are so many talents, so many valuable people, artists, and culturers who are turning the wheels of the country in these difficult conditions. Let us not forget that the smallest social, individual, and political rights have been gained at a heavy price during the last hundred years, and especially let us not forget that looking to foreign intervention to solve our internal problems is a mirage that can quickly turn into a nightmare. . A blow such as the death of a valuable artist who had an impact on the art and culture of this country for fifty years, was done by anyone, under any circumstances and for any reason, when we don’t have a calm and stable environment, hatred, violence and radicalism Political fuel from above and below are the most dangerous situations for any country in the world today.
May we consider the painful death of these loved ones as a motive, reason and argument, without making it a source for increasing violence and a sense of revenge, to help all those who rightly believe that they can achieve even relative prosperity, freedom and democracy except with inner peace and Outside, it is impossible except with the complete negation of violence in any form and without the dominance of peace, friendship, softness, flexibility and dialogue over social thoughts and actions.
