There have been protests in Iran for weeks. The reason was the death of 22-year-old Kurd Mahsa Amini. She was arrested by the vice squad in mid-September for violating the strict dress code for women. Thousands of people have been arrested in connection with the protests, including numerous celebrities from the arts, sports and politics.
The well-known actress Hengameh Ghasiani was also arrested in November. She had criticized the authorities’ crackdown on the demonstrators and posted a video on the online service Instagram in which she removed her headscarf. According to Iranian media reports, she has since been released on bail. (sda/afp)
