Taraneh Alidoosti, Leading Iranian Actress, Reportedly Detained Over Social Media Posts
18.12.2022 - 00:57 / deadline.com
Iranian authorities have arrested Taraneh Alidoosti, one of the country’s best known actresses, after she expressed solidarity with anti-government demonstrators in a social media post.
The BBC, quoting an Iranian state media agency, reported Alidoosti was detained on charges of “spreading falsehoods” about the protest movement that has gripped the country, state media said. In an Instagram post last week, she condemned the execution of a man over his involvement with the protests.
She has been a frequent thorn in the regime’s side. Earlier, she posted an Instagram photo without a headscarf, a garment required in the Islamic Republic. It was done in solidarity with widespread anti-government protests sparked by the death in police custody of a 22-year-old Kurdish-Iranian woman, Mahsa Amini, for not wearing a headscarf in public.
Alidoosti is the latest member of the Iranian arts and entertainment community to be detained. The list includes filmmakers Jafar Panahi, Mohammad Rasoulof and Mostafa Al-Ahmad, singer Singer Shervin Hajipour, and Kurdish Tehran-based rapper Saman Yasin, who could face the death penalty after being found guilty of “enmity against God” in a court hearing at the end of October.
Alidoosti is best known for her role in the Oscar-winning film The Salesman. The 38-year-old Alidoosti was also at the Cannes Film Festival this year with Competition Title Leila’s Brothers, and appeared in the film Orca.
In her latest post, the actress condemned those who did not speak out on the execution of protester Mohsen Shekari.
A post on the state news agency IRNA’s Telegram account said Alidoosti was arrested by police for failing to provide “any documents in line with her claims” on social media.

‘No Bears’ Review: Jafar Panahi’s Nifty Meta Exercise Packs An Emotional Punch
Iranian director Jafar Panahi has been incarcerated since July 2022 for “propaganda against the system” after he visited authorities to inquire about another detained filmmaker, Mohammad Rasoulof. This is far from Panahi’s first brush with a repressive system that has been trying to silence him for years, and the director is perhaps better known for his ability to make films despite these unfair odds than for the films themselves.
