Iran authorities arrest actress of Oscar-winning movie

State media in Iran said that one of the country's most famous actresses was arrested for spreading false information about the country's protests.

According to the report by IRNA, Taraneh Alidoosti, star of the Oscar-winning movie "The Salesman," was arrested a week after she expressed her support for the first man to be executed during the protests.

Several other Iranian celebrities have been summoned by the judiciary body over publishing provocative content, according to IRNA.

Alidoosti was arrested because she did not give any documents in line with her claims, according to the report published on the state media.

The actress said in her post that he was named Mohsen Shekari. It's a disgrace to humanity that every international organization is watching this bloodshed and not taking action.

Shekari was sentenced to death in Iran for attacking a member of the country's security forces with a machete and blocking a street.

Iran executed a second prisoner last week. The body of Rahnavard was hung from a construction crane as a warning. Two members of the paramilitary force in Iran were stabbed.

Iran executed two men less than a month after they were charged for their alleged involvement in the protests. According to activists, at least a dozen people have been sentenced to death.

Since the protests broke out in September, Alidoosti has made at least three posts on her account expressing her support. The account had 8 million followers.

There have been protests in Iran since the death of a young woman. One of the most serious challenges to Iran's theocracy has arisen from the protests.

Alidoosti has been critical of the Iranian government.

She received a suspended five-month prison sentence in June 2020 after she criticized the police on social media.

Alidoosti has stared in a number of movies.

Two Iranian actresses were arrested for expressing solidarity with protesters on social media. They have been freed.

According to the Human Rights Activists in Iran, at least 499 people have been killed in the protests. More than 18,000 people have been taken into custody.
