Woman Arrested in Iran for Posting Videos of Herself Dancing on Instagram (http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2018/07/woman-arrested-in-iran-for-posting-videos-of-herself-dancing-on-instagram/)
QuoteAs the BBC notes, six Iranian girls were given sentences of a year in prison and 91 lashes after they were convicted in 2014 of posting videos of themselves dancing to the Pharrell Williams song “Happy.â€
It’s not clear what sentence Hojabri might face for her dancing videos but she has been reportedly released on bail along with the other three women. According to the Associated Press, Iranian authorities are considering blocking access to Instagram, but no final decision has been made. People in Iran typically get around government blocks of sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube by using VPNs. [Associated Press, BBC, The Guardian]
I am sure that the feminist will be outraged world-wide and put on hijabs in solidarity.

There was actually a lot of outrage by a lot of people from all groups. Maybe it's hard to see when you know... you are so extremely selective with what you see...
Feminists, atheists, people of faith, muslim and non muslim... many groups think it is wrong that she was arrested. You're welcome for me clearing that up for you
