A popular chef in Iran has been arrested after what some have alleged could be to do with a video he posted in reference to assassinated Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani.
(excerpt)
Navab Ebrahimi was arrested in Tehran on Wednesday and taken to the city's Evin prison, the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) said.
No reason was given for the arrest of Ebrahimi, who had some 2.7 million followers on Instagram enjoying his slickly produced videos showing how to produce classic Persian dishes without pain.
But social media users said the arrest coincided with him posting a recipe to make Persian cutlets on the day the Iranian authorities marked the third anniversary of the killing by the United States of Revolutionary Guards General Qassem Soleimani.
Some Iranians opposed to the regime have made a habit of posting images of cutlets on the anniversary of his death, in reference to the manner of his killing in a US drone strike in Iraq.
Actually I have no sympathy for this chef. When in Rome, do as the Romans. If the regime is too oppressive, then so be it. That is their culture. No need for us to foment even more counter-cultural behavior.
Ha.
I think he might have gotten away with a recipe for kebab
That’s a strange post.
cutlet pong
Thanks. Happy New Year.
Ah, you’re still celebrating. That explains it.
Happy New Year.
Also Merry (Orthodox) Christmas. :-)
ping to you
A society doesn’t change unless people stand up against the regime. That means putting themselves at risk. Are you just going to accept repression & oppression here? Kudos on this guy, & here’s hoping they don’t kill him.
With all due respect, this did not happen here. It is none of our business. Let the rest of the world live the way they want to. We have enough problems here.
With all due respect, it is happening here, slowly. Why would you make derogatory comments about someone who is standing up in his own country? If you’re not interested in what’s happening “there” & it isn’t any of “our business” why did you bother to read the article at all?
