Babak Payami was born in 1966 in Tehran, Iran. He is a producer and director, known for Secret Ballot (2001), One More Day (2000) and Silence Between Two Thoughts (2003).
Protested against the arrest of Jafar Panahi, detained on 1 March 2010. "The circumstances surrounding Mr. Panahi and his arrest are a clear indication of the level of injustice and brutality that the Islamic regime is subjecting the Iranian people. It is our duty to support all actions that expose the regime and support the Iranian people. Panahi and countless other Iranians who are subjected to the oppression of the regime in Iran must be freed immediately".
