Iranian Instagram couple sentenced to 10 and a half years in prison after video of them dancing in Tehran goes viral

Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume.Astiyazh Haghighi and Amir Mohammad Ahmadi shared this video of them dancing in front of the Azadi Tower in Tehran.abc.net.au/news/iranian-couple-sentenced-instagram-dancing-video-goes-viral/101916092An Iranian couple who filmed themselves dancing in front of Tehran's Azadi Tower and posted the footage to Instagram have each been sentenced to a total of 10 and a half years in prison.

Their sentences of 10 and a half years each are greater than the one handed down last month to a man who beheaded his wife The 16-second video, posted to Instagram in October, shows them dancing together in Tehran's Azadi Square at night, with the brightly lit Azadi Tower visible in the background.

Do the CIA post their propaganda BS through a PR media agency or do they work directly with corporate media stenographers?

8 years for beheading your wife, 10.5 years for dancing. Me thinks that a certain judicial system has its priorities wrong.

Fake news. Fact check please.

Got to love Islam

Should've known not to film illegal things and put them on the net 😉 Just sing and dance at home, or in jail When are we overthrowing the aussie gov anyway?

Iran government is trash

they knew the rules odds are that they both die in prison

On the plus side, the ridiculous regime is unlikely to last that long.

whaaat?!

Good example of what not to do on the roads in Tehran. 👍

i don't agree with the punishment but if they knew it was not allowed why do it

The corrupt Australian media is trying to get you all to hate Iran that's what this is about

Those wacky Islamists! What will they get up to next? Maybe we should increase immigration from Islamic countries so we can experience the wonders of a repressive theocracy too.

Thank you so much for covering this

No wonder they’re all applying to migrate here

Meanwhile in Australia police could sabotage the prosecution of rape case, probably because it happened in parliament

And that terrorists regime has embassy here ,shame on Albo.
