From Paris to Finland: Iranian Cartoonists Fight Back with Art

Three exiled Iranian cartoonists are using their art to amplify the voices of millions silenced back home in Iran.<br /><br />Living across Europe—in Paris, Helsinki, and Amstelveen—artists Mana Neyestani, Kianoush Ramezani, and Sanaz Bagheri reflect on war, censorship, and the risks of speaking out.<br /><br />Following deadly crackdowns on protests, widely reported by groups like Amnesty International, the artists describe the emotional and ethical challenges of their work. Neyestani speaks of a painful dilemma—caught between war and repression—while Ramezani highlights intimidation and surveillance faced even in exile.<br /><br />Bagheri, whose work gained attention after the Woman Life Freedom movement, channels hope through her art, envisioning a future where Iran rises again despite years of oppression.<br /><br />Their cartoons have become more than art—they are acts of resistance, testimony, and a call for global attention.<br /><br />0:00 — Iranian cartoonists fight back through art<br />2:00 — “I have a lot of stress,” says Kianosh Ramezani<br />3:00 — Sanaz Bagheri: “Iran will rise again from its own ashes”<br /><br />#Iran #ExiledArtists #Cartoons #FreedomOfExpression #HumanRights #Politics #World<br /><br />🔊 LIKE ➡ SHARE ➡ SUBSCRIBE<br /><br />📰 Breaking news. ⚡Live updates. 🔍 Trusted stories — all in one app. Download the Asianet News App today 👇<br />🍎 iOS: https://apps.apple.com/in/app/asianet-news-official/id1093450032<br />🤖 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vserv.asianet&hl=en_IN<br /><br />For More Updates:<br /><br />Follow us on our WhatsApp Channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va5Bq3yKwqSLSQTxam0r<br /><br />English: https://newsable.asianetnews.com/<br /><br />Hindi: https://hindi.asianetnews.com/<br /><br />Malayalam: https://www.asianetnews.com/<br /><br />Kannada: https://kannada.asianetnews.com/<br /><br />Tamil: https://tamil.asianetnews.com/<br /><br />Telugu: https://telugu.asianetnews.com/<br /><br />Bengali: https://bangla.asianetnews.com/<br /><br />Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AsianetNewsa...<br /><br />Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AsianetNewsEN<br /><br />Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ann.newsable/<br /><br />➡ If you like our video, give us a thumbs up and subscribe to our channel to get the daily dosage of news, entertainment, sports, and more.
