Taraneh Alidoosti: Top Iranian actress poses without headscarf
A top Iranian actress has posted an image of herself on Instagram without a headscarf to signal solidarity with anti-government demonstrations.
Taraneh Alidoosti - best known for her role in the Oscar-winning film The Salesman - also held a sign reading "Woman, Life, Freedom" in Kurdish.
The slogan has become a common rallying cry among protesters.
Demonstrations sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini in police custody are entering their seventh week.
The 22-year-old died after she was arrested by morality police in Tehran for allegedly violating Iran's strict rules requiring women to cover their hair with a hijab, or Islamic headscarf. read more
