On 8 October actress Marzieh Vafamehr was sentenced to 90 lashes and one year jail in Iran for her part in the Australian film My Tehran for Sale. I’m a little late in posting this, but its not too late to sign an Amnesty petition to the Iran government opposing flogging.
Its such a sad irony that a actress who appeared in a film highlighting some of the severe obstacles and oppression within her country would actually result in her own.
