According to Iranian state media, Katayoun Riahi was previously wanted and was arrested at her home in the Obik area of Qazvin province on Sunday evening.
According to data from the Iranian state news agency Fars News, the judicial authorities of Qazvin province reported that Riahi was summoned to court to testify after “unfounded statements about recent events and the publication of provocative materials in support of street protests.”
The judicial authorities of Qazvin province stated that Riahi received a summons to appear in court but did not show up, which led to her arrest.
The well-known Iranian actress openly supported the protesters and appeared in public without a headscarf in solidarity with those protesting against hijabs.
A month ago, in an interview with Iran International, Katayoun Riahi reiterated her support for the people and stated that she had not removed her hijab because she had never worn one. “We have been shown in hijabs for years, but that is not true, I have never worn a hijab,” the actress said.
Katayoun Riahi is best known in Tajikistan for her role as Zuleikha in the Iranian series “Prophet Yusuf.”
