Now this is real: repression in Iran

"For one Iranian actor, life is mirroring art, in the most gruesome of ways. Two years ago Marzieh Vafamehr starred in a film about an actor whose theatre work is banned in Iran.  Her crime? Appearing in an Australian film which is critical of the Islamic regime with her head uncovered.Vafamehr, wife of the acclaimed film-maker Nasser Taghvai, was arrested in July after starring in My Tehran for Sale, which touches on many of the taboo issues of modern life in Iran."  Now she faces a year in prison and 90 lashes after Iranian officials took exception to the film, which is itself banned inside the country."
