SAG-AFTRA condemned the Iranian government’s arrest of Taraneh Alidoosti, the internationally acclaimed actress who starred in the Oscar-winning film. The seller.
She was arrested for allegedly making “baseless comments about recent events” after taking to social media to express her solidarity with the protests sweeping the country. She also appealed to the international community to act. Human rights activists say nearly 500 people have been killed and more than 18,000 arrested since the protests began.
“Alidoosti’s arrest follows death sentences and executions of protesters, as well as the arrests of prominent Iranians, including actors Hengameh Ghaziani and Katayoun Rishi, as the nation escalates its human rights abuses against its own people,” the guild said in a statement. “We salute the courage of Alidoosti, Ghaziani and Rishi and the countless activists who risk everything for the right to a life free from oppression. They show us that the human spirit shines even in the face of brutal oppression.”
