Minister of Ershad’s defense against the banning of the film “Leila Brothers”
The Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance said: The seizure of the film “Leila Brothers” was done according to the law.
Charso Press: On the morning of Wednesday, July 1, 1401, on the sidelines of the government meeting, Mohammad Mahdi Esmaili, in response to a question regarding the official banning of the film “Leila Brothers” and some of the published news that some of the actors of this film were banned, said: In this same government yard, I announced a while ago that we are acting according to the law regarding this film. The law was clear in this regard. Our friends in the cinema organization did a complete investigation. My insistence was that two necessary investigations should be done in order to comply with the law, and this declaration of opinion was also based on these investigations.
He added: In fact, the group of people who made decisions in this regard were unanimous that this violation has been committed. Of course, it is possible that in previous years, the Ministry of Guidance and the Cinema Organization acted passively in these matters for any reason, but our foundation in the new period is to act according to the law, and the recent decision was also made according to the law.
