[IsraelTimes] Activists say 5 detained and forced to apologize for dance clip set to song by Nigerian singer Rema, which began circulating online around International Women’s Day
After the initial viral footage of the five, another video emerged on social media of four women, their heads fully covered, stepping forward one by one to express regret. It appeared to have been filmed in a similar Ekbatan area, but neither the video nor the circumstances in which it was made could be verified. Whether the women had been released was also not immediately clear. Ekbatan, a middle-income area popular with young professionals and families, saw repeated anti-regime actions in the past few months. Rema retweeted video of the women dancing with their long hair uncovered and commented: “To all the beautiful women who are fighting for a better world, I’m inspired by you, I sing for you and I dream with you.” |
