Marzieh Vafamehr is married to film director and screenwriter Nasser Taghvai. She was arrested on 29 June 2011, reportedly due to her role in Granaz Moussavi's 2009 Iranian-Australian film My Tehran for Sale that is critical of her native Iran. She was released on 24 October 2011, after posting unspecified bail. It was reported that she was sentenced to 90 lashes and a year in prison. On 27 October 2011, Amnesty International reported that an Iranian appeals court had reduced Vafamehr's prison sentence to three months and overturned the flogging sentence. Vafamehr was released after 118 days from Qarchak Prison, but banned from making or acting in films and forbidden to leave Iran. She is the first Iranian woman who acted in cinema without the hijab after the Iranian revolution and the first to publish a picture of herself kissing Nasser Taghvai in Nowruz 2013. She was one of the founding members of the Women's Citizenship Center in 2013.
