Teen arrested in Iran after posting videos of her dancing online

This is not the first time Iranian authorities have cracked down on dancing.

"It wasn't for attracting attention", she said.

Iranian police have also arrested other popular Instagram users as part of what appears to be a broader crackdown against the social media platform.

Hojabri had uploaded around 300 videos to her account, in which she can be seen dancing in both Iranian and Western styles, without the compulsory hijab.

"It wasn't incitement, I didn't want to encourage anyone, I didn't have an objective", she said.

Under Iran's Islamic Sharia law, women are required to wear headscarves and modest clothing in public and are banned from dancing in public.

The Iranian authorities struck again, arresting an 18-year-old woman for a supposedly provocative dance she videoed and posted to social media.

Captioning the video, he writes: 'If you tell people anywhere in the world that girls aged 17 and 18 are arrested due to their beauty, the joy of dance and accused of the crime of prostitution, and predators of children are free, they will laugh!

Shabooneh, a local news website, said Hojabri and three other individuals were detained on similar charges in recent weeks before being released on bail. "I only do gymnastics".

Many women's activists responded by posting their own videos of themselves dancing. "Because for them, it's unbelievable!"

"For centuries people have uncovered themselves and danced and this religion wasn't harmed", Iranian cleric Mohammad-Reza Zaeri wrote on his Instagram page.
