Iran imprisons couple shown dancing at Tehran's Freedom Tower in viral video
"A young couple who posted a video of themselves dancing romantically in the streets of Tehran have been sentenced to several years in prison, according to human rights activists and Iranian authorities.
Instagram influencers Astiyazh Haghighi, 21, and her fiancé, Amir Mohammad Ahmadi, 22, were jailed amid the regime's crackdown in a bid to quell anti-government protests that have swept the country.
The couple, popular figures on social media, with a combined following of almost 2 million, have regularly posted videos together.
In a video posted to their Instagram accounts in November, which has since been deleted but is now being circulated widely on social media, the bloggers dance at night near Tehran’s landmark Azadi (Freedom) tower, which marks the western entrance to Iran's capital.
