Dissident Iranian director Mohammad Rasoulof was released from prison over the weekend, according to Iranian news outlets.
There was no indication of how long Rasoulof would remain out of jail.
There is no news on Al-Ahmad who was arrested at the same time as Rasoulof.

I was still on medical leave when I was notified of my release an hour ago, he wrote.
I wish for their release.
The lifting of Rasoulofs detention comes just days after Jafar Panahi wasreleasedfrom Evin on bail.
Panahi had been arrested a few days after Rasoulof and Al-Ahmad after going to enquire about their whereabouts.
Like Panahi, Rasoulof has long been in the crosshairs of Irans hardline Islamic Republic government.
