Tasnim News Agency accused the actress, Akidousti, of “spreading lies, instigating riots and supporting counterrevolutionary groups”.
Several other actresses were also arrested in the wake of protests in Iran over the death of 22-year-old Iranian girl Mahsa Amini in police custody 3 months ago. But they were released on bail.
