Iranian actress Marzieh Vafamehr 'released'

October 28 – BBC News

An Iranian actress who was sentenced to a year in prison and 90 lashes has been released after three months in custody, according to Amnesty International.

Marzieh Vafamehr was detained for appearing in 2009 Australian film My Tehran For Sale, about an actress whose stage work is banned.

Amnesty said the flogging had been overturned and her sentence commuted.

The charity said it was "deeply worrying" that other Iranian film-makers were still in prison.
