Thailand has caved in to pressure from Iran and withdrawn the animated movie "Persepolis", about a girl growing up and feeling repressed under Islamic rule, from next month's Bangkok International Film Festival.
"I was invited by the Iranian embassy to discuss the matter and we both came to mutual agreement that it would be beneficial to both countries if the film was not shown," festival director Chattan Kunjara na Ayudhya said on Wednesday.
"It's a good film, but there are other considerations."
If you thought that the great Islamic Republic wouldn't have anything to fear from a cartoon, you were wrong. One would think that a couple of drawings couldn't possibly have the power to degrade 'the achievements and results of the glorious Islamic Revolution.' Pfft.
