To show solidarity with anti-government protests, a prominent Iranian actress posted an image of herself without a headscarf on Instagram.
Taraneh Alidoosti, best known for her role in the Oscar-winning film The Salesman, also held a sign in Kurdish that read “Woman, Life, Freedom.”
Protesters have adopted the slogan as a rallying cry.
The protests sparked by Mahsa Amini’s death in police custody are now in their seventh week.
The 22-year-old died after being arrested by morality police in Tehran for allegedly breaking Iran’s strict rules requiring women to wear a hijab, or Islamic headscarf, to cover their hair.
Ms Alidoosti is one of Iran’s most successful actresses and has more than eight million followers on Instagram. She starred in The Salesman, which won an Academy Award in 2016 for the Best International Feature Film.
She has previously vowed to remain inside Iran at any price and has paused her career to support the families of those killed in the security forces’ clampdown on demonstrators.
Local human rights activists say least 328 people have been killed and 14,800 others have been detained.
The star’s post is the latest gesture of support by leading figures in the arts and sports of Iran.
Last month, Iranian star footballer Sardar Azmoun backed demonstrators amid increasing violence from the government. The Bayern Leverkusen forward condemned security forces in an Instagram story, saying: “Shame on you for easily killing the people and viva women of Iran. Long live Iranian women!”
