The case of a teenage girl who is believed to have been detained after posting videos on social media showing her dancing has stirred debate in Iran.


The controversy arose after it was reported that 18-year-old Maedeh Hojabri was arrested after sharing her dance videos - one of which was viewed close to one million times - on Instagram.

Under the Islamic Republic, the use of headscarf in public is mandatory for women, while dancing is prohibited. However, several women have challenged those rules and expressed their dissent through social media.


Others have protested by removing their headscarves in public, prompting a crackdown by the authorities. Separately, the government has also blocked some messaging applications like Telegram, while the judiciary is reportedly mulling restrictions of Instagram - steps condemned by human rights groups.

Sorry Iran no dancing for you!

I will do an old school pop routine to honor these women.
