Marzieh Vagamehr: Free Country but not free people



Iran is a free country but it seems Iranians are not free people. How can any government punish its artist with 90 lashes and one year in jail? This happened with Marzieh Vafamehr, who starred in My Tehran For Sale. This film was made in 2009 and also premiered at the Toronto Film Festival. It is being said that this cruel punishment was due to a scene in the film where she appeared with a shaved head and without any headscarf.
Punishment of this sort raises highest concern over creative artistic freedom.
