The restrictive Islamic theocracy reacted in this way to the protest registered months ago, in which the artists appeared without covering their faces.
The religious regime of Iran announced this Wednesday that at least 12 actresses will be prohibited from working for having been in public spaces without the veilwhich women are obliged to wear there in the islamic republic.
“Those who do not respect the law will not be able to work”the Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance told reporters, Mohammad Mehdi Esmailiwhen confirming journalistic reports, reported the AFP news agency.
Iranian media stated that a dozen actresses who violated the rules requiring the wearing of the Islamic veil are banned from acting in films, including performers known as Taraneh Alidoosti, Katayoun Riahi and Fatemeh Motamed-Aria.
Iran saw a wave of protests last year due to the death of a 22-year-old Kurdish-Iranian girl who died while she was detained for allegedly violating the strict dress code that governs women.
Hundreds of people, including members of the security forces, died during protests and thousands were detained for participating in demonstrations that Iranian authorities described as “riots” orchestrated by Western countries.
