Visual arts, drawing, poetry and literature were confined to the mullahs\u2019 backward ideology, with the country\u2019s real artists either being held in prison or living a lonely sorrowful life at home.<\/p>\n<p>Performing arts and cinema were also banalized under the mullahs\u2019 regime, with regime\u2019s so-called favorite artists taking place of real, popular ones.<\/p>\n<p>While the art is supposed to help societies flourish, in Iran under the rule of mullahs, however, it\u2019s turned into an oppression tool that helps the dictatorship survive.<\/p>\n<p>Mohammad-Ali Fardin was a popular Iranian actor who was isolated ever since the mullahs took power, and eventually died while mourning over his country\u2019s art.<\/p>\n<p>Pointing to mullahs\u2019 art-killing culture, Fardin once said in a ceremony hosting Iran\u2019s veteran artists \u201cwhere is life? We\u2019re dying every moment to live a day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After going through years of isolation, Fardin passed away on April 7, 1999. His magnificent funeral was attended by thousands of people who were apparently protesting against the regime. <br \/>May his soul rest in peace!<\/p>\n<p>Recently passed away \u2018Naser Malek-Motiee\u2019 was another popular actor with a similar fate. Sobbing at Fardin\u2019s burial ceremony, Malek-Motiee modestly spoke about how his fate was similar to his deceased friend\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>Attended by thousands of his fans, Malek-Motiee\u2019s funeral on May 27, 2018, turned into an anti-regime protest rally.<\/p>\n<p>Infuriated by regime\u2019s behavior towards Malek-Motiee, the demonstrators chanted \u201cdown with the dictator.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Malek-Motiee passed away on May 25, 2018, at the age of 88.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s too heart-wrenching knowing that most of Iranian noble, veteran artists experienced a similar fate.<\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s well-known poet Ahmad Shamloo had countless poems in praise of freedom, freedom-seeking and Iranian revolutionaries while denouncing the dictatorship. In addition to being under pressure from the mullahs\u2019 regime, Shamloo was severely suffering from diabetes towards the end of his life, and even lost one foot due to his illness.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout his fruitful life, Shamloo was censored and persecuted by both Shah and Khomeini\u2019s dictatorships. Nonetheless, he never stopped raising his voice against regime\u2019s policies and its censorship machine.<\/p>\n<p>After years of suffering from pain and physical restrictions, Shamloo passed away on Sunday night, July 23, 2000, in Iran.<\/p>\n<p>Tens of thousands of Iranian people attended Shamloo\u2019s funeral and bid farewell to Iran\u2019s great poet who never gave in to the terrorist and religious dictatorship despite being under tremendous pressures.<\/p>\n<p>Along with late Dr. Gholamhossein Saedi, Shamloo was Resistance of Iran\u2019s invaluable friend.<\/p>\n<p>Gholamhossein Saedi was one of Iran\u2019s most distinguished screenwriters. In protest against mullahs\u2019 dictatorship, Saedi left Iran and died in 1985 abroad.<\/p>\n<p>It should also be pointed out that the mullahs\u2019 hostility towards the country\u2019s art is not limited to the artists who are still alive, but the mullahs have repeatedly destroyed deceased artists\u2019 grave sites across the country.<\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s classic singer Gholamhossein Banan was another popular artist who passed away on February 27, 1986 in Tehran. Banan\u2019s house was destroyed on October 24, 2013 by the regime.<\/p>\n<p>Many Iranian artists have been joining the PMOI during the dark era of mullahs\u2019 rule; while some of them, including Ashraf-o-Sadat Mortezaei aka Marzieh, Manoucher Sakhaei, Andranik Asaturian, Emad Raam, painter Bahram Alivand and Mansour Ghadrkhah, sadly died in exile, there are still many others who are involved in activities against the mullahs\u2019 regime at the forefront of the Resistance. These include Manouchehr Hezarkhani, Shahla Safizamir aka Marjan, Mohammad Shams and Reza Olia, to name a few.<\/p>\n<p>After being isolated for 15 years, Lady Marzieh left Iran in 1994 for good. After being granted asylum in France, Marzieh immediately joined the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/about\/our-resistance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI)<\/a>\u00a0following her meeting with Mrs. Maryam Rajavi in Paris. Iran\u2019s \u2018art and music lady\u2019 passed away in 2010, due to illness.<\/p>\n<p>As an inseparable part of human life, art was among the first victims of the mullahs\u2019 regime. Instead of being employed to flourish and evolve Iranian society, Iran\u2019s art was degraded to mullahs-specific banality. That\u2019s the main reason why Iran\u2019s noble artists never gave in to mullahs\u2019 regime and, thanks to people\u2019s assistance, joined the Resistance of Iran in different ways, as they consider themselves being raised by people and belonging to people. There are many instances in this regard.<\/p>\n<p>There were a significant number of popular artists among the 120,000 Iranians executed by the Iranian regime, as they had discovered an artist\u2019s true place while finding the real art in standing against the regime.<\/p>\n<p>Now, if we want to know the real place of Iran\u2019s art and artists, it would suffice to take a look at this year\u2019s NCRI Grand Gathering due to be held in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/news\/iran-resistance\/24749-on-june-30-the-world-will-see-an-alternative-iran\" target=\"_blank\"

Resistance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Abdolrahman Mahabadi, political analyst and writer With the mullahs&rsquo; regime coming to power in 1979, Iran&rsquo;s art breathed
