Two Iranian actors arrested for not wearing headscarves

Two prominent actors, Hengameh Ghaziani and Katayoun Riahi, were arrested by Iranian authorities on Sunday for appearing in public without wearing headscarves, according to reports.

In an Instagram post, Ghaziani wrote, “This may be my last post. From here on, whatever happens, know that as always I will stand with the people of Iran.” In the video, she stands with her head uncovered. She then goes on to tie her hair into a ponytail.

Both Ghaziani and Riahi have won many awards and are known to be high-profile Iranian public figures.
