Oscar-winning Iranian actress Taraneh Alidoosti was arrested days after she criticized Iranian authorities for executing a protestor.

Alidoosti condemned the hanging of Mohsen Shekari, who was executed after being charged with “waging war against God” for attacking a member of the Basij paramilitary force at a protest in Tehran on September 23.

″His name was Mohsen Shekari. Every international organization who is watching this bloodshed and not taking action, is a disgrace to humanity,” Alidoosti wrote on social media.

According to a report by state media outlet Fars News Agency, the actress was arrested for “lack of evidence for her claims.”
