The silence of celebrities in support of Parviz Parastavi

According to Fars Art and Media Group, The screening of the film “Tales of a Thousand and One Days” was held with the aim of promoting peace, with the presence of Parviz Parastavi, Gohar Kheirandish and Zeinab Ahmadzadeh (on behalf of her father) in a hall in Los Angeles, USA.

In this ceremony, some Iranians living in the United States, in an organized movement and in the struggle of Sam (Ehsan), while insulting the artists of our country and the martyr Qassem Soleimani, tried to stir up the space and film it, but Parastavi did not pay attention to talking to them. Answering why he does not answer, he said: Because you do not speak human!

In response to the blackmailing of one of the counter-revolutionary elements in a question-and-answer session with a group of Iranians, he reiterated that where am I with my people? I cash in my country.

Parviz Parastovi’s zealous behavior and action in the face of the counter-revolutionary element has been accompanied by widespread support from social media activists at home and abroad.

But the question that has arisen in the minds of public opinion in the current atmosphere is the significant silence of domestic celebrities on this issue.

In recent years, Iranian actors and celebrities have entered most of the subjects in which they did not have the slightest expertise and sometimes even acted against the government and national interests, but in the recent issue and supporting Parviz Parastavi’s behavior, there is a significant silence on the part of some artists. has been created . It seems that Gohar Kheirandish and Parviz Parastavi have not had any union support from their fellow actors except popular support.

We have seen many times that celebrities take a stand and comment on issues that have the least to do with their area of ​​expertise.

But they remain silent when they are expected to clarify their position on an important issue that has provoked a reaction from most of the people of the country.

In the case of the assassination of Martyr Fakhrizadeh, the strange silence of domestic celebrities caused a wave of criticism in society, so much so that some experts attribute this silence to the citizenship of countries such as the United States and Canada for fear of not obtaining a visa.

In this regard, Aliram Nouraei, a film and television actor, in response to the significant silence of the celebrities claiming against the assassination of our country’s nuclear scientist by the Zionist regime, wrote: Comrade; Silence about the assassination of our country’s nuclear scientist is not a sign of intellectualism and anti-war. Another sign!

What is the reason for the significant silence of celebrities?

Most of the positions that celebrities take on various issues called patriotism, rather than based on their patriotic feelings, are in order to qualify for a US visa. That is, the requirement to obtain a US visa and citizenship forces celebrities to make statements on social media that are in line with US government policies and, conversely, refrain from making statements that condemn Westerners.

This is because from 2017 onwards, the US government, in a new law passed to visa applicants, requires them to provide their social media experience over the past five years, as well as their biographical information from the past 15 years. .
