An Iranian actress has been sentenced to 90 lashes and imprisonment for one year following her role in a film depicting artistic repression in Iran. Marzieh Vafamehr was arrested in July and sentenced last week. The film which depicts the actress not wearing a head scarf at times and with a shaved head as well as drug use was also banned. The film originally was not meant to be screened in Iran and was smuggled in illegally.
