Saleheh Ramin, daughter of Mohammad Ali Ramin, is ashamed of any connection her family once had with the regime.
Saleheh Ramin, daughter of a former Iranian government official, wrote in an Instagram post, ‘I, Saleheh Ramin, am embarrassed and ashamed of any association my family once had with this regime.’
Mohammad Ali Ramin was the former deputy minister of culture and the press deputy in Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s government. In 2012, he was sanctioned by the European Union for censorship of the press and having direct responsibility in the shutdown of several newspapers and the arrest of journalists.
Ms. Ramin is a fashion designer and is active in the fashion industry in Europe. Since the start of protests in Iran, she has frequently written in support of the protesters on her Instagram page.
The lifestyle and images of Mr. Ramin’s children on social media have previously sparked reactions and criticisms.
