Iran: dance

Meysam Zamanabadi en Mohammad Zomorodian , the manager and political editor of the Iranian news site iranews.org have been arrested on December 28 in connection with the release of video footage that shows Iranian Vice President Esfandiar Rahim-Mashaee taking part in a ceremony in Turkey where unveiled women were dancing.
Under Iran's Islamic laws men are not allowed to watch women dance and sing.
A member of iranews.org staff said the video footage of Mashaee, who is the head of Iran's Tourism and Cultural Heritage Organization, had been posted on the website.
"And because of that last night, Mr. Mashaee had arranged a meeting with Mr. Zamanabadi. But Mr. Mashaee did not come and some unknown people arrested mr.Zamanabadi."



In Iran deathpenalty is in use. Also for child offenders.

Children are being hanged to death.
A child will be hanged to death.
