The ceremony turned into an anti-regime demonstration in which the participants who were angry with the regime&#8217;s anti-Iranian and anti-art treatment chanted slogans such as &#8220;Death to dictator, Hail to Naser\u201d and \u201cOur disgrace is our (state) radio and TV\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Naser Malek Motiei was one of the most prominent actors in Iran&#8217;s cinema who was deprived of his artistic career for four decades and was isolated by the regime because he rejected to accede to the regime\u2019s anti-popular policies. He passed away on Friday, May 25, 2018 at the age of 88.<\/p>\n<p>In fear of spreading this funeral and anti-regime protests, the repressive forces, attacked the crowd by sending anti-riot forces, and tried to disperse the people by throwing tear gas and shooting in the air. The people confronted the mercenaries and continued their ceremony while chanting: \u201cShameless, shameless\u201d and \u201cState Security Force is our shame\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/ncri-statements\/iran-protests\/24811-funeral-of-a-popular-iranian-movie-star-with-the-slogan-death-to-the-dictator\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">NCRI<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_56606\"  width=\"480\" height=\"270\"  data-origwidth=\"480\" data-origheight=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XhAFbW5DGgQ?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org&#038;autoplay=1&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=1&#038;playlist=XhAFbW5DGgQ&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;controls=1&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;hl=en_US&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/images\/stories\/2018\/May\/b\/Nasser-Malek-Moteie-2.jpg\" width=\"555\" height=\"343\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ncr-iran.org\/en\/images\/stories\/2018\/May\/b\/Nasser-Malek-Moteie-3.jpg\" width=\"558\" height=\"346\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>The funeral ceremony of the famous Iranian theater and movie star Naser Malek Motiei, was held on Sunday May 27, 2018 in which a large <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/10245\/\" title=\"Iran: People Chant &#8220;Death to Dictator&#8221; Slogan During Funeral Ceremony of Popular Movie Star\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":10246,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10245","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-society-economy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10245","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10245"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10245\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10250,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10245\/revisions\/10250"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10246"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10245"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10245"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.irandemocratic.org\/public_html\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10245"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
