More specifically, Iranian actress Marzieh Vafamehr was sentenced to 90 lashes for starring in “My Tehran For Sale,” a movie about how Iran mistreats its actresses. The actress was arrested for being in the film – which was never officially distributed in Iran – in July, and her sentence was handed down this weekend.
According to an opposition party’s reports, the sentence has been appealed be Vafameher’s lawyer, and is pending review.
In addition to the lashes, Vafamehr’s sentence includes a year-long jail stint for being in the Iranian-Australian collaboration, which the country’s conservatives decried for its depiction of the Islamic republic.
