On his Wikipedia page it says he’s been in and out of prison countless times. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jafar_Panahi

I get the sense that he’s well respected though. He was sentenced to a prison term but served the time under house arrest. Another time he was in prison and began a hunger strike and they released him two days later.

His current whereabouts are unknown but they think he’s in Iran.

I hope he weathers it okay. Jon Stewart interviewed him on The Daily Show back in May. It was the first I had heard of him but he seems like a really strong person and filmmaker.
