Iran detains girl over dance video

Iran has detained a teenage girl who posted dance videos on Instagram and attracted tens of thousands of followers.

State TV broadcast a video on Friday in which 18-year-old gymnast Mae-dehhojabriacknowledged breaking moral norms while insisting that was not her intention, and that she was only trying to gain more social media followers. It was unclear whether her statement was made under duress.

Shabooneh, a local news website, said that Ms Hojabri and three other individuals were detained on similar charges in recent weeks before being released on bail.
