22:31Now PlayingIn defiance of the Islamic Republic's oppressive crackdown on dissent and joy, Iranians are using singing and dancing as a form of protest. The movement gained momentum after the arrest of Sadegh Bagheri, a fishmonger in his sixties, who became an Instagram sensation for singing and dancing in Rasht's bazaar. The Iranian authorities not only imprisoned Bagheri but also targeted Instagram influencers who shared his videos, shutting down their accounts. In response, Iranians flooded social media with videos of themselves dancing in parks and streets, expressing solidarity with Bagheri. The deputy police commander claimed the videos violated public morals, leading to shop closures. Many Iranians highlight the authorities' hypocrisy, questioning the focus on dance while neglecting other sexual scandals within their own morality-enforcement officials. A commentary in a reformist newspaper suggests a coordinated effort to exert control and dictate societal norms through the suppression of ordinary Iranians. The dancing protest underscores the resilience of Iranians against the constraints imposed by the theocratic government.
