After the Iranian authorities arrested Instagram dancer Maedeh Hojabri and forced her to confess to violating "moral norms" on state television, Iranians have begun posting their own dancing videos to show support.

The teenage Hojabri was among a number of Instagram users who were arrested and forced to confess. In the confession video, she says she did not work with any “team” or receive any type of training but made the videos mostly for her followers on Instagram. She had over 600,000 followers before her arrest. Immediately afterward, her videos of her dancing solo to Iranian and Western music, presumably in her own bedroom, went viral on social media.

The arrest — or perhaps the forced confession on Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) in which the girl, face blurred but visibly crying — struck a nerve among Iranian social media users, who began posting their own personal videos dancing in solidarity. Men and women of all ages posted their videos with the hashtag that can loosely be translated as “Let’s dance.”

Others criticized the Iranian judiciary over its priorities. One social media user tweeted, “Likely the judiciary confronted Maedeh Hojabri in order to prevent the deviation of the youth and prevent the collapse of the family. If only they knew that the deviation of the youth, their irreligiousness and flight from religion is [due to] the lack of confrontation with the politically and financially corrupt.”
