Top Iranian actress takes off her headscarf in solidarity with protests

Taraneh Alidoosti pledges to ‘pay any price to stand up for my rights’ as demonstrations continue to rock the Islamic republic

Leading Iranian actress Taraneh Alidoosti has posted a picture of herself without the mandatory headscarf and holding a sign in support of protests that have shaken the Islamic republic for over 50 days.

Alidoosti, one of the best-known film stars living in Iran, posted the image of her holding a slogan of the protest movement “Woman. Life. Freedom” to her Instagram account, where she has nearly eight million followers.

The 38-year-old is a regular in movies by Asghar Farhadi, the award-winning director – including The Salesman, which took the Oscar for best foreign language film in 2017.

Recently, she vowed to remain in her homeland at “any price”, saying she did not have a foreign passport or residence.
