Detainment of Navab Ebrahimi is speculated to be linked to post about cutlets, a possible taunt over general’s death
Photograph: TwitterPhotograph: TwitterIran has detained a prominent chef and Instagram influencer, known for his videos promoting Persian cooking, in its crackdown on nationwide protests, human rights groups and supporters have said.
No reason was given for the arrest of Ebrahimi, who had 2.7 million followers on Instagram but whose account is no longer accessible. But followers said the arrest coincided with him posting a recipe for Persian cutlets on the day Iranian authorities marked the third anniversary of the killing of the Revolutionary Guards general Qassem Suleimani.
Nik Yousefi, an Iranian film-maker and photographer who was arrested in October as part of the crackdown and then released, wrote on Twitter that Ebrahimi had been arrested and his cafe in Tehran, Noj, shut down.
