A group of Iranian teen girls have been detained for dancing to a song.

“ I wonder if@heisrema knows that his song#CalmDown is the background of an incredibly valorous act of defiance by youthful Iranian women? ” twittered a Canadian intelligencer, Nahayat Tizhoosh. “ It started when five girls danced to his music in@shahrak_ekbatan- risking persecution by a governance that has boggled women for simply protesting. ”
Another handle,@IranIntl_En twittered, “ This videotape of Iranian girls in Tehran’s Ekbatan neighborhood dancing unveiled to the song Calm Down by Rema and Selena Gomez has gone viral. Women are banned from dancing in public in Iran. ”
Replying to the news, Rema via his sanctioned Twitter account, said, “ To all the beautiful women who are fighting for a better world, I ’m inspired by you, I sing for you, and I conjure with you. ”
An Ekbatan Twitter account which posts events in the neighborhood, advised on Friday that the girls faced possible arrest and detention.

numerous Iranian women also took to thoroughfares to protest the development with some taking off their headscarves and throwing into fire.
