Iranian actress Marzieh Vafamehr has been released from jail, according to Amnesty International.

Vafamehr was sentenced to 90 lashes and one year in jail for her role in the feature film My Tehran For Sale, sparking outrage among the local film community, which petitioned for her release. My Tehran For Sale was partially funded by the South Australian Film Corporation.
