Actress Marzieh Vafamehr was sentenced to one-year in prison and 90 lashes. After international protest, this sentence was reduced to three months with no lashes.
Maziar Vafamehr was arrested for appearing in the film “Tehran for Sale” without hejab, but with her head shaved. Appearing in films without hejab was not unprecedented in Iran.
