Sepideh Moafi Instagram – Iconic actor Taraneh Alidoosti (Oscar-winning film The Salesman) was arrested at her home on Saturday for an @instagram post to her 8 million followers in which she criticized the Islamic Republic for imposing the death penalty on protesters after the first execution of #IranRevolution & said, “His name was Mohsen Shekari. Every international organization who is watching this bloodshed & not taking action is a disgrace to humanity.” She’s being held at the notorious Evin Prison.
In November, she also posted a picture of herself without mandatory hijab, holding a piece of paper reading “ژن ژیان ئازادی” (Women Life Freedom).
I’m proud to be part of a coalition artists worldwide standing in solidarity with Taraneh. We’d like to invite you to post a selfie holding up a sign that says “Women Life Freedom” – the English translation of the slogan Taraneh was holding in the photo.
The IR is trying to delete all records of this photo because of the massive impact it had when she posted it. We want to show support & solidarity for Taraneh by recreating it all over the internet & all over the world. Join us, & please sign the petition for her release—link in bio. For letter & full list of signatories, link in bio.☝🏽
