Baktash Abtin (???-2022)

Baktash Abtin was an Iranian poet, writer, and film maker who was imprisoned for 'propaganda against the state' and 'actions against national security'. He had proffessional associations with the IFFR and was supported by Amnesty International after his imprisonment. Baktash Abtin published three books of poetry, developing an interest after finishing high school. Following his pursuits in poetry he wrote a script, was in a TV movie, and directed his first film in 2005. Abtin wrote extensively on history, sociology, and literary criticism. Abtin went on to direct at least six additional films (all with dialogue in Farsi) up until 2013 including some features touching on more comedic and intimate aspects of Iranian Society. Abtin was arrested at least once before his final detainment after participating in a commemoration for murdered writers on 2 December 2016. After involvement with the publication of a book describing the history of the Iranian Writer's Association, Abtin was charged on 15 May 2019, with "illegal assembly and collusion against national security" and "spreading propaganda against the state". He was sentenced to a total of 6 years imprisonment. Baktash Abtin entered Evin Prison in Tehran on 26 September 2020.
