Behnaz Jafari and Jafar Panahi in 3 Faces (Jafar Panahi, 2018) Cast: Behnaz Jafari, Jafar Panahi, Marziyeh Rezaei, Maedeh Erteghaei, Narges Delaram. Screenplay: Jafar Panahi, Nader Saeivar. Cinematography: Amin Jafari. Production design: Leila Naghdi Pari. Film editing: Mastaneh Mohajer, Panah Panahi. It's probable that, because of my superficial acquaintance with Iranian film, I kept comparing Jafar Panahi's 3 Faces to films by Abbas Kiarostami. Like Kiarostami's And Life Goes On (1992), it concerns a journey from Tehran into the remote villages of the country, and like that film and his Through the Olive Trees (1994), it ends with a virtually wordless scene shot from a long distance. But from what I know from reading about Panahi and his work, this may be more hommage than mimicry: Panahi, who is forbidden from making films in Iran and nevertheless has made four since he was imprisoned and sanctioned, is keen to make statements about life and art in his country, and allusions to its most celebrated director are certainly in order. 3 Faces follows the actress Behnaz Jafari and Panahi, playing themselves, as they journey into northwestern Iran to try to find Marziyeh, a young woman who wants to attend the conservatory in Tehran and become an actress. In a desperate attempt to elicit their help, Marziyeh has made a video on her phone in which she appears to commit suicide. She sent the video to Jafari, who is so shocked by it that she drops out of the film she's making and enlists Panahi in trying to track down the young woman. What follows has been called a "road movie," in which actress and director drive an SUV along dirt roads deep into the hills to find out if Marziyeh really committed suicide or if she faked it to get attention. The bulk of the film is made up of some oddball encounters along the way and a struggle with the villagers who detest Marziyeh for her nonconformity, as well as with the woman's family, which is at odds over her ambitions. Marziyeh turns up alive, having taken shelter with Shahrzad, a former actress whose career ended with the Iranian revolution, and who lives a hermit-like life in this remote village, regarded with suspicion by the locals. "Shahrzad" is one of several spellings of "Scheherazade," the legendary storyteller of the One Thousand and One Nights. We never see the film's Shahrzad, but she's central to the film's themes; for one thing, the name means "world-freer." The family member most opposed to Marziyeh's pursuit of a career is her brother, who is so angry about his sister's flouting of tradition that he has to be restrained and shut in his room when Jafari and Panahi arrive at the family home. At the end, when Marziyeh's father is asked for permission to let her go to Tehran with the actress and the director, we see Panahi waiting outside -- Jafari has told him that it's best to let the women handle it -- as the furious brother emerges. The men keep their distance; Panahi gets out of the car and looks through a wire fence as we see the brother pick up a stone; then we hear the sound of a car alarm. The film cuts to an interior of the SUV as it drives along the familiar winding road, heading back to Tehran. There's a large cracked spot on the windshield. The beautiful understatement of scenes like this only heightens our sense of the injustice done by politics to art.

Amin Jafari Sojahrood says he felt at home right away in Canada after arriving from Iran to study biomedical physics.

He has since achieved many educational accolades, including winning a prestigious Vanier scholarship. Ivy League schools and high-profile institutions across the world have been trying to recruit him for years. But he loves Canada and wants to build a life here.

That’s why he says it has been heartbreaking to have found himself in limbo awaiting approval for permanent residency. He’s been waiting over a year for his application to be processed with no end in sight.

And it’s all because he is from Iran.

An own goal by Aziz Bouhaddouz (90+5′) allowed Iran to win their first match 1:0 against Morocco. Spain won the second match 1:0 (Diego Costa 54′) but the Europeans struggled to create chances against a very disciplined Iran that defended brilliantly, showed plenty of tactical cohesion and looked dangerous going forward. Saeid Ezatolahi had a goal disallowed for offside.

The third match against Portugal ended in a draw 1:1 (Quaresma 45′; penalty Karim Ansarifard 90+3′). Morteza Pouraliganji rose up to the challenge and kept Cristiano Ronaldo in check. In the second half, Ali Beiranvand managed to save Ronaldo’s penalty kick. Seconds before the final whistle, Iran went all out for the winner and a desperate Saman Ghoddos effort was deflected onto the path of Mehdi Taremi who found himself one-on-one with Portuguese goalkeeper Rui Patricio. Taremi hit the wrong side of the netting, consigning his side to finishing third in their group. Iran needed all three points to advance to the knock-out stage.

In The Guardian, Paul Doyle rated Ali Beiravand’s overall performance with an 8 and chose the Iranian goalkeeper in his best eleven of the group stage.

*Note: In 1978, Iran finished in 14th place out of 16 participants on their first World Cup appearance.

Tiny bubbles making large impact on medical ultrasound imaging

New research demonstrates ability to manipulate nanobubble size, acoustic resonance and, ultimately, ultrasound effectiveness Credit: Amin Jafari Sojahrood and Al C. de Leon If you were given “ultrasound” in a word association game, “sound wave” might easily come to mind. But in recent years, a new term has surfaced: bubbles. Those ephemeral, globular shapes are proving useful in improving…

tobasatu.com, Kualumpur | Untuk pertama kalinya dalam sejarah sepakbola kita, Timnas U-16 Indonesia mampu mengalahkan Timnas U-16 Iran dengan skor 2-0, pada duel perdana Grup C Piala Asia U-16 2018 di Stadion Nasional Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Jumat (21/9) sore. Pasukan Garuda Asia besutan Fakhri Husaini mengawal laga dengan penuh semangat juang tinggi. Hasilnya di menit ke 4, Amiruddin Bagus Kahfi Al-Fikri mampu mencetak gol usai menerima umpan dari Mohammad Supriadi. Gol Bagus tentu saja mengejutkan skuad Iran yang digadang-gadang favorit juara di turnamen ini. Iran langsung bereaksi setelah gol tersebut. Satu tembakan dilepaskan, namun bola masih bisa diamankan Ernando Ari. Iran kembali menyengat pertahanan Indonesia. Di menit kesembilan, Alireza Bavieh melepas tembakan namun masih mampu diblok lini pertahanan Indonesia. Tempo permainan mulai melambat setelah laga berjalan 30 menit. Tak ada peluang berarti di sisa waktu babak pertama. Skor 1-0 pun bertahan untuk Indonesia hingga turun minum. Indonesia langsung mengancam di awal babak kedua. Berawal dari sepak pojok Yudha Febrian, menyambar bola dengan tembakan keras, namun arah bola masih melenceng dari gawang. Tim besutan Fakhri Husaini nyaris menggandakan skor di menit ke-52. Berawal dari kesalahan kontrol pemain lawan, Bagus mencuri bola untuk kemudian menerobos masuk ke kotak penalti. Tembakan dari jarak dekat dilepaskan, namun bola masih sedikit melebar dari gawang. Iran masih belum bisa mengancam gawang Indonesia setelah babak kedua berjalan 20 menit. Mereka kerap membuat umpan-umpan silang yang melenceng. Indonesia nyaris kebobolan di menit ke-73. Umpan silang yang dilepaskan Amir Jafari membentur mistar gawang. Tak ada pemain Iran yang siap untuk menyambar bola liar. Indonesia memperbesar keunggulan di injury time. Amiruddin Bagas Kaffa melesakkan gol setelah melewati tiga pemain Iran. Gol itu mengantarkan Indonesia menang 2-0. Kemenangan ini untuk sementara mengantarkan Indonesia memimpin Klasemen Grup C dengan tiga poin. Timnas U-16 Indonesia akan kembali tampil pada Senin (24/9/2018) pukul 19:45 WIB melawan Vietnam di Stadion Nasional Bukit Jalil, Kuala Lumpur.(ts)

U.S. sanctions five Iranians it says assisted Yemen

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States on Tuesday imposed sanctions on five Iranians it said had provided Yemen’s Houthis with expertise and weaponry that were then used to launch missiles at cities and oil infrastructure in Saudi Arabia.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin speaks during a TV interview at the White House in Washington, U.S., May 21, 2018. REUTERS/Kevin Lamarque

In a statement, the U.S. Treasury named the individuals as Mehdi Azarpisheh, Mohammad Jafari, Mahmud Kazemabad, Javad Shir Amin, and Sayyed Mohammad Tehrani. It said the first four individuals had worked with the Houthis through Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, while Tehrani had helped with the financing of the Revolutionary Guard.

The fresh sanctions, part of President Donald Trump’s pledge to economically suffocate Iran in hopes of hampering the country’s development of nuclear weapons, come one day after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the United States would soon crack down on Iran’s support for the Houthis. Yemen’s government has been pitched against the Iran-aligned Houthi movement since 2015 in a war driving the country to the verge of famine.

Panahi lanza en Cannes mensaje por la libertad y la igualdad de las mujeres

Alicia García de Francisco Cannes (Francia), 13 may (EFE).- El realizador iraní Jafar Panahi tiene requisado el pasaporte y no ha podido viajar a Cannes para presentar su filme "3 visages", pero su presencia no ha sido necesaria para lanzar su mensaje a favor de la libertad y de la igualdad para las mujeres. Las protagonistas del filme, Behnaz Jafari y Marzieh Rezaei, la montadora, Mastaneh Mahojer, y el director de fotografía, Amin Jafari, defendieron en Cannes con pasión y con la mejor de las sonrisas el trabajo de Panahi, que compite por la Palma de Oro del festival y cuya silla permaneció vacía durante la rueda de prensa. El equipo reconoció que han recibido muchas muestras de solidaridad, sobre todo tras el estreno oficial de la película, anoche. Incluso la actriz iraní Golshifteh Farahani -protagonista de la segunda película en competición de hoy, "Les filles du soleil"- ha mostrado su apoyo a Panahi desde Cannes. Sin embargo, Mahojer reconoció que la prohibición de salir del país y de rodar que pesa sobre Panahi hasta 2030 no puede eliminarse fácilmente. "Pero nosotros no tenemos prohibido viajar al extranjero y el filme tampoco, porque tiene identidad propia", resaltó. Y su presencia en Cannes es suficiente para Panahi, porque a él lo que verdaderamente le importa es mostrar la película, que sea vista en el festival y en el mundo, resaltó la montadora, una de las colaboradoras habituales del director. Ayer por la noche, tras la proyección oficial, hablaron con el realizador y le encontraron contento y lleno de energía porque el filme se pudo proyectar. "Estar él o no, no le importaba tanto", afirmó Amin Jafari, que también precisó que ahora su objetivo es que "3 visages" se estrene en Irán. Un filme que ha sido muy bien recibido en Cannes, con críticas unánimes que coinciden en destacar la sutileza con la que el director trata un tema complicado, el de las dificultades que tienen en Irán las mujeres para acceder a la educación, así como el buen trabajo de Behnaz Jafari, que se interpreta a sí misma. Con un comienzo que descoloca -la grabación de una joven con su móvil de su propio suicidio- la película transcurre sin embargo de forma más relajada de lo que cabría esperar y se convierte también en un retrato del Irán rural y de cómo las costumbres están estancandas desde hace siglos. "3 visages" es el cuarto largometraje que Panahi realiza desafiando la condena que le impusieron en 2010 por "conspiración y propaganda contra el Gobierno iraní" y con uno de ellos, "Taxi", logró el Oso de Oro de Berlín en 2015. Le impusieron seis años de cárcel, una condena que está en suspenso, y 20 años de inhabilitación profesional, que incluye la prohibición de rodar películas y escribir guiones, medida que sí está en vigor. Pese a ello, Panahi puede trabajar en condiciones más o menos normales, aunque las restricciones que pesan sobre él "provocan problemas inesperados", pero el realizador siempre encuentra soluciones a cualquier obstáculo, señaló Mahojer. Incluso prepara dos guiones que avanzan paralelamente, uno el del filme y otro un poco diferente, para evitar los problemas, explicó Amin Jafari con humor. Un humor presente en la rueda de prensa y en la película, pese a los asuntos que trata, y que es un ejemplo del surrealismo que convive con el realismo extremo en Irán. Una vaca que bloquea un camino o una mujer que yace en su tumba, que ella misma ha cavado, para comprobar si estará cómoda, son algunas de esas escenas de humor que contrastan con la dureza de la vida de las mujeres en Irán. Un asunto muy presente en todas las películas de Panahi, como resaltó Mahojer, que consideró que el director iraní ha sido un avanzado en la cuestión "de darle el poder a las mujeres porque casi todos sus filmes están centrados sobre la cuestión femenina". "Mucho antes de que comenzara ese movimiento de 'Me Too' del que todos hablan, él ya provocaba olas en esa dirección y continúa haciéndolo. No solo influye en la cuestión de las mujeres en Irán, también en la del mundo", dijo antes de agregar: "aquí estamos como mujeres que contamos y ese es el mensaje que él quiere dar a Cannes y al mundo".

Days after Asma Jahangir passed away in Lahore, some of us, members of Asma’s tribe as I think of it, got together at Harvard to commemorate her life, impact and achievements. We had lots of flowers, and music, and chai and samosas – she loved these things and loved hosting people. The languages spoken — English, Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali and Farsi — are a testament to Asma’s reach. Below, a short report about the event by a student at Emerson College, Boston, and a longer one by a Wellesley College student.

On a chilly Saturday afternoon in February, students, professionals and community members crowded into an over 100-seater auditorium at the Harvard Kennedy School to celebrate the life of Asma Jahangir, a Pakistani human rights lawyer and social activist who passed away at her hometown in Lahore the previous Sunday, February 11, 2018.

Introducing the event, Beena Sarwar, a Pakistani journalist who worked with Jahangir, said, “We were originally going to call this a memorial service, then we called it a remembrance, and then we decided to call it a celebration. We want this to be an uplifting celebration of Asma.” Sarwar first met Jahangir when she started voluntary work reporting and writing for the Human Rights Commission in Lahore in the late 1980s.

Speakers ranged from cardiologist Kashif Choudhry who flew in from Baltimore to pay his respects, to entrepreneur Mahmud Jafari, historians Ayesha Jalal and Sugata Bose, writers Sara Suleri and Homi Bhabha, to Nobel Laureate economist Amartya Sen, to a chaplain, lawyers, professors and newspaper editors.

Asma Jahangir was more than just a lawyer and activist. She was a fearless leader and mentor who fought for justice and democracy in a society that is heavily conservative and marred by corruption. She remained undeterred in the face of imprisonment, beatings, and death threats.

She co-founded Pakistan’s first all-women law firm in 1980, the Women’s Action Forum in 1981, Human Rights Commission of Pakistan in 1987 and was also the first woman president of Pakistan’s Supreme Court Bar Association. She took up cudgels on behalf of women, laborers and other marginalized communities in Pakistan. In her role setting up institutions as well as being an activist, she was revolutionary.

Additionally, she was a long serving UN Special Rapporteur who held several portfolios: 1998 to 2004 on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, 2004 to 2010 on freedom of religion or belief, and mostly recently on the situation of human rights in Iran, a position she assumed on 1 November 2016 and held until her death.

Tufts professor Ayesha Jalal, a close friend of Jahangir, said, “You could find her at 7:30 in the morning at the bazaar buying fish. And at 10 am protesting outside the Lahore High Courts, and going to courts to fight her case, and then attending a funeral for a human rights activist, and then going home and making dinner and entertaining friends till 3 a.m.” Laughter resounded through the hall.

The auditorium reverberated with emotion, as speakers remembered Asma Jahangir through both laughter and tears. She was remembered as a ‘mentor of mentors’, as ‘Pakistan’s conscience’, and as a national icon whose courage was needed today more than ever to stand up to the tyranny in Pakistan.

“No country produces only heroes. But no country should do without heroes who can give us examples of integrity, courage, and honesty,” said Thomas W. Simons, former United States ambassador to Pakistan.

At the end, the organizers called for the young people present to continue Jahangir’s legacy, to be the next voice of optimism, and to “overcome sounds of war drums with courage.”

Celebrating Asma Jahangir: “We will not stop. We will take her work forward”

By Aliza Amin

A memorial titled “Celebrating Asma Jahangir” at Harvard Kennedy School on 17 February 2018 was held to honor to the late lawyer and human rights activist, who passed away on 11 February 2018 in Lahore from a cardiac arrest at age 66. She will be remembered for championing the rights of marginalized communities including women and children, workers, low-income and religious minorities, and ethnic minorities for almost four decades. She is survived by her husband, two daughters, and a son. Her funeral prayers at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium in Pakistan were attended by over 3,000 people, around half of them women.

In Cambridge MA, students, community members, writers and professionals, including many who came in from out of town, gathered to pay their last respects at the well-attended event, organized by friends and admirers of Asma Jahangir.

The event began with an introduction by Beena Sarwar, who first learnt of Asma Jahangir through the Woman’s Action Forum launched in 1981, and subsequently worked with her at the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan that Jahangir started in 1987. Sarwar praised Jahangir and her ability to change and inspire the lives of so many.

“We lost someone who meant a lot to people who knew her as well as those who did not know her because she took on issues such as rule of law, due process, and the democratic political process,” said Sarwar. “We will not stop. We will take her work forward.”

Lawyer Yasser Kureshi, a doctoral candidate from Brandeis University, gave a brief summary of Jahangir’s achievements before introducing each speaker to the podium.

Entrepreneur and philanthropist Mahmud Jafari described Jahangir as “a small person with an indomitable will.” He shared the text of a Facebook post that had been widely shared, written by Zahra Hayat, recounting her experience attending the activist’s funeral in Lahore and how moving it was to see men and women gathered in congregation. He also recited a poem by Urdu poet Kishwar Naheed, written specifically for Jahangir.

“She had no fear of speaking truth to power,” said Shahla Haeri, an associate professor of anthropology at Boston University who had met Jahangir while conducting research in Pakistan. “A person with a good name never dies,” she stated, alluding to a couplet written by the Persian poet Sa’adi.

Yasser Latif Hamdani, an advocate of the Lahore High Court and Visiting Fellow at Harvard Law School, said Jahangir was one of his inspirations when he entered the field of law. He considered her to be a mother figure.

Martha Chen, who teaches Public Policy at Harvard University, recalled the time she and Jahangir first met at a conference in Sweden. They discovered that they had much in common, Chen said. Both had attended Christian schools, had a deep admiration of the Urdu language, and been active in protesting the atrocities in then East Pakistan, 1971, and had fought for the recognition of Bangladesh.

Editor of Daily Times Pakistan Raza Rumi had worked with Jahangir while he was an intern at the Center for Advocacy and Rights and witnessed her courage firsthand when she confronted the inspector general of a police station for their inaction over a gang rape case. She continued to display such bravery, he said, as she stood against arrays of killings, missing persons, and brick kiln workers. Rumi talked about AGHS Legal Aid Cell that Jahangir founded with other young women lawyers, which continues to remain a valuable resource for minorities, women, and children.

“In her home country, she was a firebrand activist and a fearless lawyer. Through her work she ensured that a military dictator, however powerful, would always be regarded as a usurper. In India, she was a messenger of peace and goodwill,” said Sugata Bose, a historian at Harvard University. His mother in India had once nominated Jahangir for a Gandhi Peace Prize, which later received backlash and was disregarded.

Chanta Bhan, an interfaith chaplain originally from Lahore, talked about Dastak, the women’s shelter in Lahore set up through AGHS Legal Aid Centre that Asma Jahangir ran along with her sister Hina Jillani. Dastak remains an exemplary interfaith sanctuary, where Christian and Muslim women live together when they have nowhere else to go.

“The sheer integrity of Asma’s voice as a feminist activist is more resonant and relevant today than ever,” said Homi Bhabha, an English professor at Harvard University. “Her struggle must never end because we must interiorize the struggle and make it part of our internal ethical vigilance. We struggle not only against tyranny but for truth that we cannot live without.”

Kashif Chaudhry, a cardiologist at the University of Maryland who had flown in for the event from Baltimore, praised Jahangir’s unrelenting support for religious minorities such as Ahmadi Muslims. “No words can suffice to pay tribute to Asma Jahangir,” said Chaudhry.

“One of my favorite authors, the Viennese writer Karl Kraus, was called a faithful hater of his fatherland,” said former US ambassador to Pakistan Thomas W. Simons, Jr. “And there was something of that in the way Asma felt about her country.”

He went on to speak of her heroism and integrity, concluding, “I must also share with you my first reaction to the news of her death: Pakistan, you’re on your own.”

Author Sara Suleri, Professor Emeritus of English at Yale University, paid tribute to Jahangir’s authenticity of spirit and courage by sharing anecdotes of their decades-long friendship. “She did not have to speak for women. She personified what the travails were to women around and also provided some solutions for our predicament.”

“I would hope that the sense of immediate loneliness is mitigated by this occasion,” said Suleri. “We are all learning a language that is post-Asma Jahangir, and I encourage all of us to keep practicing it.”

Historian Ayesha Jalal, another old friend of Jahangir’s, talked about how remarkable it was that she could manage politics and be a friend and a mother all at once. She reminded the audience that Jahangir was a fallible human being with worries and concerns, and that we all must do even better than her.

“When the canons of Pakistani democracy are put together, this small-framed friend of mine will stand amongst the tallest of giants,” said Jalal.

Nobel Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen recounted some of Jahangir’s numerous achievements while she was alive, such as how she won her first case at a mere age of 18 and went on to become a leading defender of human rights in Pakistan. The two had been close friends for over two decades, and Sen described how awestruck he was by Jahangir’s clarity of mind and boundless humanity.

“The angel of humanity may have gone, but the education and training we got from her is here to stay,” Sen said. “We can have pride in having known so perfect of a human being.”

The event concluded with a poetry reading by Sughra Raza, an associate professor at Harvard Medical Center. She recited passages “Shorish-e-Barbat-o-Nai” by Faiz Ahmed Faiz, a dialogue on hope by two different voices. The first voice speaks of the pain of destiny and annihilation, to which the second voice responds with hope and commitment to truth and to overthrow the sound of war drums with music.
