An Iranian court has sentenced film directors Maryam Moghadam and Behtash Sanaeeha to suspended jail terms for their film “My Favourite Cake,” which garnered international acclaim but angered Iranian authorities. They received 14 months in prison, suspended for five years, along with fines for “spreading lies” and producing “vulgar content,” while also facing restrictions on their ability to leave Iran. The case highlights the severe censorship and legal threats artists face in Iran, as noted by the Center for Human Rights in Iran.
