Two girls were arrested by Iran's morality police after dancing together in public. The incident took place at the "Unknown Saints" monument in Tehran – a monument to the Iranian soldiers killed in the Iran-Iraq War – when the two performed a joint dance. According to reports, the two were accused, among other things, of "dressing inappropriately."
In the video, which has since gone viral on social media, the girls are seen dancing in front of the monument with their hair uncovered, something that has been prohibited under Iranian law since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Law enforcement removed the video shortly after it was reportedly uploaded to Instagram, and blocked the accounts of the two young women.
