An Iranian couple in their 20s have been given jail sentences totalling 10 years after posting a video of themselves dancing in the street.
The video showed them dancing by Tehran's Azadi (Freedom) Tower.
The couple did not link their dance to the ongoing protests in Iran.
A source has confirmed to BBC Monitoring that the couple's arrest came after they posted the video to their Instagram accounts, which have a combined following of nearly two million.
Anti-government protests - labelled "riots" by Iran's regime - swept across the country after Mahsa Amini, 22, died in police custody in September last year. She was arrested in Tehran for allegedly violating the rule requiring women to cover their hair with a hijab, or headscarf.
Astiazh Haqiqi, 21, and her fiance Amir Mohammad Ahmadi, 22, are said to be convicted of "promoting corruption and prostitution, colluding against national security, and propaganda against the establishment".

I think I saw this movie.
What a FU country.
I hope that theocratic regime dies a quick death.
Can you even imagine a movie director brave enough, reckless enough to try filming a redo of this movie, but set in Iran.
It would certainly be action packed and full of enthusiasm.
Filmed totally indoors and at an undisclosed location.
Imagine what Mick Jagger and David Bowie would have gotten.
I am not sure we should be second guessing the morality enforcers in another country when our culture here is in the gutter. We will be making their point by attacking them.
“Put on your red shoes and dance the blues”
Almost as bad as Canada
Harrison bergeron???
It wasn’t that long ago southern United States was the exact same.
If they had caught them dancing like Techno Grandpa, they probably would have gotten 20 years.
Yes, that grandpa knows how to cut a rug!
