Tehran Prosecutor's Office filed a lawsuit against two theater actors
Iran's Judiciary Media Center announced that the Tehran Prosecutor's Office filed a legal lawsuit against the actors of this program and declared a crime against them due to what they called "contrary behavior of two theater actors."
In its statement, the judiciary did not publish the name of the program or the two actors, but simultaneously with the publication of this news, images of the play "Tehran Paris Tehran/Bridge" starring Mehrdad Sedighian and Fatemeh Masoudifar were republished on social networks.
The management team of this program has now stated in a statement that the published images from one of the scenes are "intertwined and unclear" and due to the angle and closed perspective of the mobile phone camera, the real distance between the actors is not visible.
This statement emphasizes that "there was no physical contact between the actors" and the defined distance between them was observed. The management team also stated that the two characters in this scene have a "brother and sister" relationship in the play's text and are in a critical situation.
However, in order to prevent future misunderstandings, the Kerbatlion group changed the standing angle and the way the actors are positioned in this scene so that the distance between them is clear from all angles of the hall.
