Iran’s judiciary has summoned five actresses and other public figures in the country to seek explanations for their support of protests against the death in custody of young Kurdish-Iranian woman Mahsa Amini after she was arrested for allegedly wearing the veil incorrectly.
The actresses have been identified by the official Iranian Judiciary agency, Mizan, as Elnaz Shakerdost, Mitra Hayar, Baran Kaushari, Sima Tirranzah and Hengeme Ghaziani, all of whom have been cited for publishing unspecified «provocative content.»
As of this Sunday, Golmohammadi and Kosari’s pages were no longer available on Instagram.
Likewise, the Tehran Prosecutor’s Office has also summoned Persepolis FC soccer club coach Yahya Golmohammadi and former reformist MPs Mahmud Sadeghi and Parvaneh Salahshouri to testify, according to Mizan’s information.
At least 342 people have been killed, including at least 43 minors and 26 women, during the authorities’ crackdown on protesters over Amini’s death, according to the latest toll this week by the NGO Iran Human Rights.
