Best known for her role in the Oscar-winning 2016 film “The Salesman,” actor Taraneh Alidoosti has been arrested by the Iran government. Alidoosti’s arrest comes after she raised her voice backing the anti-Hijab protests triggered by the death of a woman in custody.
As per reports, the 38-year old actor, was arrested “by order of the judicial authority” as she “did not provide documentation for some of her claims” about the protests.
