Bloggers are stripping down in a show of support for Golshifteh Farahani, an actress who’s reportedly been barred from returning to her home country of Iran. The 28-year-old actress, who starred in the 2008 film Body of Lies, was reportedly exiled because she appeared topless and with her hands over her breasts in a photo for Madame le Figaro, a French magazine. Now her fans have taken to posting their own nude portraits on the Internet. Farahani has said her decision to pose for the magazine photo was in protest of restrictions on how Iranian women are allowed to appear in public.
