Iranian police arrest 150 youngsters at dance party

Iranian police arrested about 150 young girls and boys who took part in a dance party, ISNA reported on Sunday.

Quoting Colonel Fereydoon Aghaee, chief commander of the city of Somee-Sara in Gilan province, ISNA reported that these youngsters were informed and invited via the internet to take part in a party at the Pamchal Wedding Hall in Somee-Sara.

Aghaee added that most of them were released after written promises not to repeat the act in future, but six were arrested, including the Pamchal Wedding Hall's manager.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has banned participation in dance parties for people, calling these sort of acts as anti-Islamic.
