Nuremberg - The daughter of a close associate of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has requested asylum in Germany, after attending a human rights film festival in Nuremberg, a festival spokesman said on Tuesday.
Filmmaker Nargef Kalhor, 25, had refused to return to her native Iran after the festival and applied for asylum instead. She is currently in a refugee centre near Nuremberg, the spokesman added.
Kalhor's father Mehdi Kalhor is said to be one of Ahmadinejad's closest confidants. The former documentary film producer has advised the Iranian president on cultural issues since August 2005.
Nargef Kalhor attended the Nuremberg festival with her short film 'The Rake.' The Iranian adaptation of a story by Franz Kafka was critical of Iran's current regime, the festival spokesman said.
Mehdi Kalhor confirmed to the Iranian Mehr news agency that his daughter had applied for asylum, but said he did not know what her reasons were.
The government advisor said he had not seen his daughter since he divorced his wife a year ago. His daughter had been exploited by 'enemies of the country' for propaganda purposes, he said.
Mehdi Kalhor further advised his daughter 'not to take the path of no return.'
Hope she has some dinner-table tidbits to share.
Sounds like she is scared to go home.
This phrase creeps me out: “currently in a refugee centre near Nuremberg”.
That is where Sean Penn is going to meet her and give her a hand with her asylum bid and to loan her some cash till the A’jad regime lets her get some help from her father. Nice of Sean to do that.

This is code for come back or we will kill you.
I hope that the Iranians don’t take her to court in Florida, or they’ll have her back in a week.

yeah just like when Saddam talked his son in law into coming back to Iraq...Ha.
But did she bring A-Jad’s goat pics?
I hope that her entire family was able to get out too.If "allah" is able to get his hands on any of them you can be sure that they'll be beheaded.
Aren't the Germans known for being extremely tolerant and progressive minded when it comes to international terrorism? Jihadists consider a mission in Germany to be a walk in the mosque.
It won't be native born Germans who did the beheading...if any took place.
