Iranian actress Taraneh Alidoosti, considered one of the best actresses in Iran, has been arrested on charges of inciting riots in her country, according to some local media reports.

According to Hamshahri Onlinethe artist was arrested “due to her actions in posting false and distorted content, inciting riots and supporting anti-Iranian movements.”

Tarane Alidoosti (Tehran, 1984), has won several awards throughout her career and was the protagonist of the film “The Salesman” (“Forushandeh” in Persian), directed in 2016 by her compatriot Asghar Farhadi and which in 2017 won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

The arrest of the actress would be related to the protests in Iran that began due to the death of Mahsa Amini after being arrested by the Morality Police for not wearing the Islamic veil properly in September, but the protesters are now calling for the end of the Republic Islamic founded by Ayatollah Ruholá Khomeini in 1979.

After almost three months of mobilizations, with more than 400 deaths and thousands of arrests, the authorities have begun to execute protesters to try to control mobilizations led mainly by young people and women, who are asking for more freedoms.
