Two women Hengameh Ghaziani and Katayoun Riahi were both detained after being summoned by prosecutors in a probe into their “provocative" social media posts and media activity. The Authorities in the Islamic republic describe the protests as “riots" and accuse the country’s Western foes for creating them. Ghaziani, a vocal critic of the crackdown on protesters, was arrested for inciting and supporting the “riots"

According to the information A 52-year actress already indicated she had been summoned by the judiciary, and then published a video on Instagram of herself removing the obligatory hijab. The actress wrote, “Maybe this will be my last post,"

She further wrote, “From this moment on, whatever happens to me, know that as always, I am with the Iranian people until my last breath." In the video filmed on shopping street, Ghaziani bareheaded facing the camera without speaking and then turning around and binding her hair into a ponytail. The actress also accused the Iranian government of “murdering" more than 50 children.

Another actress Riahi was later arrested in the same probe. The actor, 60, who has appeared in a string of award-winning movies.
