PARIS - Iran has arrested two prominent actors who expressed solidarity with the protest movement and removed their headscarves in public in an apparent act of defiance against the regime, state media reported on Sunday.
Iran’s clerical leadership has been shaken by more than two months of women-led demonstrations sparked by thea 22-year-old woman of Kurdish origin who had been arrested by the morality police in Teheran. Ghaziani, a vocal critic of the crackdown on protesters, was arrested for inciting and supporting the “riots” and for communicating with opposition media, IRNA said.
“Maybe this will be my last post,” she wrote late on Saturday. “From this moment on, whatever happens to me, know that as always, I am with the Iranian people until my last breath.”
