Oscar-nominated co-writer of 'It Was Just an Accident' released from Iranian prison
- On Tuesday, Mehdi Mahmoudian was released from Nowshahr prison on bail alongside Vida Rabbani and Abdollah Momeni, 17 days after his arrest.
- Following the signing, Mehdi Mahmoudian was arrested in Tehran, authorities say, accused of insulting the Supreme Leader and propaganda against the Islamic Republic, Panahi reported.
- With prior imprisonments, Mahmoudian's detention resonated among peers, including a five-year term ending in 2014, underscoring his history of detention, according to reports.
- Rising international pressure has accompanied the case, with the international protest movement, including Munich demonstration, challenging Iran after thousands of deaths in last month's nationwide protests.
- No details on formal charges were released immediately, leaving legal clarity lacking, while U.S. President Donald Trump said regime change in Iran `would be the best thing that could happen`, reflecting wider geopolitical attention.
