Iranian youth massively film videos in which they dance, in support of an Iranian teenager arrested for the same reason.
Maedeh Hojabri, 19, loves to dance and shares these videos with her thousands of followers on social media through different accounts. The films were recorded at her home in Tehran. Usually she does not wear a headscarf, although it is mandatory in Iran when women appear in public. In addition, women in Iran are not allowed to dance in the presence of men who are not close relatives.
The Iranian government is not a fan of dance movies: the teenager was arrested Friday for violation of public chastity. The state channel broadcast its forced confession on Friday. "I did not do it to attract attention.I did these videos for my followers, but I did not want to encourage them to do the same," said Hojabri, whose face was blown away.
Hojabri will not be the only dancer to be arrested in recent weeks. The arrests provoked many protests: on social media, Hojabri's dance films are massively shared to support it. Many young people also make videos in which they dance, accompanied by the hashtag # dancing_isn & # 39; t_a_crime.
• If you tell everyone in the world that teenage girls are arrested here because they are happy and dancing, and that they are accused of spreading the odds, while the perpetrators children and others roam freely, they will burst out laughing. It's just amazing, "writes blogger and activist Hossein Ronaghi
Not the First Time
Last summer, six young Iranians were arrested because they were arrested. they had taught others "western" dances. including zumba. In 2014, three boys and three girls were also arrested for tapping the megahit & # 39; Happy & # 39; by Pharrel Williams and distributed the video via Youtube. They were sentenced to imprisonment for one year and ninety lashes.
It is feared that authorities will ban Instagram in the near future. For example, the content of Facebook and Twitter is already heavily filtered.
