The domino effect of arresting Iranian actors continues as Iranian media report the detention of Mitra Hajjar.
Reports from Iran on Saturday, December 3, indicate the arrest of Mitra Hajjar, a well-known Iranian cinema actress. Mehdi Kouhian, a member of the Committee for the Follow-up of Artists’ Arrests, has confirmed the arrest of this actress and environmental activist. According to the news site Emtedad, the reason for Ms. Hajjar’s arrest and the detaining authority are unknown. However, IRNA’s Twitter account mentioned that last month Mitra Hajjar, along with Elnaz Shakerdoust, Baran Kosari, Sima Tirandaz, and Hengameh Ghaziani, were summoned to the court to respond to the publication of unsubstantiated and provocative content.
