Yes, absolutely. A lot of intimidation and threats have been reported. One of the ways the Islamic Republic of Iran operates is to get to you individually, but also those around you.
When these many artists are arrested, they are given a pen and paper and asked for names. Take the case of the cartoonist and illustrator Mana Neyestani. One of the first things he was asked to do when he was arrested was to give the names of other cartoonists and illustrators. That's one way of gathering that type of information.
Who does what? Who says what? Obviously, that will not only affect artists, their colleagues and the people around them, but it will also put a lot of pressure on their families. Today, the families of all these exiled people—like Golshifteh Farahani and many others—are under enormous pressure within the country itself, and that's what the Islamic Republic of Iran is going to play on.
The state uses psychological torture against people in exile by telling them that it knows where their mother and father live or which school a family member goes to. It exerts a lot of pressure on people, going after them in their private lives. Obviously, this is all about intimidation, and it is intended to silence people who, in their personal accounts and in their work, reflect the social reality that the regime is trying to hide.
