According to a tweet from the Twitter account, Shahrak Ekbatan, the five girls were first brought in and given a warning, then called again and detained for two days before being compelled to make a coerced confession. According to Iranian laws, women are banned from dancing in public, so the five friends made the video as part of an activist movement fighting for women’s rights.

In response to the incident, Rema took to Twitter to send a special shout to the girls and other Iranian women fighting for a better world, stating that they inspire him.

He tweeted, “To all the beautiful women who are fighting for a better world, I am inspired by you, I sing for you and I dream with you. ✊🏿🤍🇮🇷.”
