Pornography and extramarital sex are banned in Iran. US erotic actress Whitney Wright was able to enter the country where a Kurdish activist was whipped in January - 74 times.

Iranian activists sharply criticized the 32-year-old actress' trip. Wright represents pro-Palestinian positions on social media - just like top Iranian politicians. She was also criticized because she published pictures of herself that showed her dressed in accordance with the Islamic clothing rules. She has since left the country. The posts on her account with 1.3 million followers have been deleted.
