Six young Iranians arrested for dancing on rooftops to Pharrell Williams’ hit Happy in a video that went viral on the Internet have been freed on bail, one day after they were detained for what police classified as "obscene behaviour". The release has been confirmed by Tehran-based fashion photographer Reihane Taravati, who along with her friends was arrested for what Tehran police chief Hossen Sajedinia called a “vulgar clip which hurt public chastity”.
