“The purpose of Operation Spider 2, which was launched two years ago, is to monitor the use of social media by the Western imperialist powers to change the Iranian-Islamic life-style of our nation,” said Javad Babay, head of the cyber-crimes court. 

Golrokh, who also works as a makeup artist, has left the country and is now based in Dubai. 

“Unfortunately for the moment I will not be active in Iran, but I will continue my work outside Iran,” Golrokh said. “Thanks for your support and your positive energy. I love you.”
