LONDON: Turkish actress Birce Akalay has dedicated an award won at the Distinctive International Arab Festivals Awards to the women killed during recent government crackdowns in Iran.
Akalay won the International Actress of the Year Award at DIAFA 2022 in Dubai last week.
Wearing a stunning off-the-shoulder navy gown with a ruched bodice and pleated skirt, Akalay expressed her dismay at events in Iran. She said: “Women are being killed only for what they wear,” Iran International reported.
