Iranians Arrested for ‘Happy’ Video Freed
Six
Iranians arrested for appearing in a video singing along to an American
pop song were released on Wednesday, one day after being detained for
what police called their "obscene" behavior, one of them said in an
online posting.
In the
clip, the three women and three men dance and lip synch to Pharrell
Williams' "Happy", imitating the official video of the international
hit. The women are not wearing headscarves, as demanded by Iran's
Islamic law.
Their
arrest caused outrage among fans of the song, a catchy anthem about
feeling happy, who took to social media to denounce Iran's heavy-handed
response to the video.
