Iran Authorities arrest top actress Taraneh Alidoosti

According to official media, Iranian authorities detained one of the nation's most well-known actresses on Saturday on suspicion of disseminating false information about the country's ongoing statewide protests.

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

The statement is the most recent in a string of celebrity arrests that have also included actors, influencers, and football players in retaliation for their outspoken support for anti-government protests, which are now in their third month.

Alidoosti was detained, in accordance with a report posted on the official Telegram channel of the state media, since she failed to present "any papers in support of her claims."

Other Iranian celebrities, it claimed, had also ′′been called by the judiciary authority over publishing controversial content,′′ and some had even been detained. It didn't offer any more information.

In her post, the 38-year-old actress said: ″His name was Mohsen Shekari. Every international organization who is watching this bloodshed and not taking action, is a disgrace to humanity.”
