Surreal; This awesome graduation dance video got these female students into trouble. They now face prosecution for the “crime” of dancing during their graduation ceremony at Al-Zahra University in Bushehr, Iran. The university president threatened legal action against all these students. The individual who filmed this beautiful ceremony has been identified and his friends are concerned not only about her current situation but also her future. The Iranian regime is a gender apartheid regime, a reality reinforced time and again by the severe consequences faced by women for simple acts like dancing, highlighting the dire situation they endure under its rule. We’ve witnessed this scenario play out before. Nobody should be condemned, punished, or deprived of education simply for the ‘crime’ of dancing and experiencing happiness. We deserve to have a normal life.
@AlinejadMasih Also celebrating not having to wear a hijab for a short while, is my guess. 🤷🏼♀️ The oppression is heartbreaking…
@AlinejadMasih The end of the theocracy will start from the hands of the brave Iranian women.
@AlinejadMasih God this makes me so angry for them.
@AlinejadMasih gd heartbreaking. These young women deserve so much more!
@AlinejadMasih @IrisSchult Are they not even allowed to dance even amongst themselves?
@AlinejadMasih Iranian regim (NO) Islamic Republic In Iran (YES)
@AlinejadMasih @realaraamerican If reclaiming one’s life is a crime then this is one crime everyone should commit - or quit living.
@AlinejadMasih Some supporting evidence is hopefully forthcoming.
