New Delhi, Dec 18: Iranian authorities detained one of the nation’s most well-known actresses on suspicion of disseminating false information about the country’s ongoing statewide protests, state media said Saturday.

IRNA reported that Taraneh Alidoosti, the Oscar-winning star of ‘The Salesman,’ was arrested a week after she sent a message of support for the first person recently put to death for offences allegedly committed during the widespread protests on Instagram.

IRNA added that the court body has ‘called in’ a number of other Iranian celebrities for publishing controversial material.

In her post,she wrote, ”His name was Mohsen Shekari. Every international organization who is watching this bloodshed and not taking action, is a disgrace to humanity.”

After being accused by an Iranian court of obstructing a street in Tehran and assaulting a member of the nation’s security forces with a machete, Shekari was put to death on December 9.

Majidreza Rahnavard, a second prisoner connected to the protests, was put to death in Iran last week. Rahnavard was brutally warned by leaving his dead body dangling from a construction crane. Rahnavard is accused by the Iranian government of stabbing two members of its paramilitary force.

Since the protests started in September, Alidoosti has posted at least three times on her Instagram account to show her support for the demonstrators. On Sunday, her account was shut down.

Alidoosti has previously criticised the Iranian government and its police force. She was handed a five-month prison sentence that was suspended in June 2020 after she lambasted the police on Twitter in 2018 for attacking a woman who had taken off her headscarf.

Two additional well-known Iranian actresses, Hengameh Ghaziani and Katayoun Riahi, were detained by law enforcement for publicly showing support for demonstrators on social media. They were both let go.
