Iranian security forces have arrested Hanieh Tavassoli, a renowned film actress, and taken her to an undisclosed location.
“My sister Hanieh Tavassoli was arrested tonight at 11:45 pm at her home and taken to an undisclosed location,” her sister Tannaz Tavassoli said in an Instagram post on September 16.
On the one-year anniversary of Mahsa Amini’s death in police custody Tavassoli, 44, posted a tribute to the 22-year-old woman on her Instagram account, referring to her as a “legend”.
The security agency responsible for Tavassoli’s arrest and her whereabouts remains unknown, and there has been no official response from the Islamic Republic’s authorities regarding her arrest.
