Domestic media reported the arrest of two girls for sharing a dance clip on social media. According to claims by the Fars news agency, which is affiliated with security institutions, the arrest was made due to what was described as 'insulting by sharing a dance video' over the graves of unidentified victims of the Iran-Iraq war. The police announced that after their arrest, the two girls were handed over to judicial authorities, and the related Instagram page was also blocked. Instagram is one of the filtered platforms in Iran, and the Islamic Republic has repeatedly arrested virtual activists by criminalizing common activities on this network. Dancing and joy are condemned within the ideological framework of the Islamic Republic, and many instances of repression against joy, even for young children, have been recorded in recent years.
