Iranian authorities appear to be following through with threats to “deal” with celebrities publicly voicing support for the wave of anti-government protests that have swept Iran following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in the custody of morality police earlier this month.

Posts on social networks as well as amateur blog sites run by Iranians reported Friday that popular Iranian singer Shervin Hajipour had been taken into custody in Tehran in relation to a ballad he wrote in response to Amini’s death.

Entitled “For,” the song is composed of angry anti-government tweets posted by Iranians after news of Amini’s death on September 16 broke.

Amini died three days after she was arrested for wearing her hijab too loosely. Iranian authorities say she died of a heart attack.
