You can see a video of a young couple dancing in Tehran. In the background you can see the Azadi Tower. The girl, Astiyazjh Haghighi, 21, and the boy, Amir Mohammad Ahmasdi, 22, are obviously having fun; Astiyazjhj’s hair, uncovered, is flying as she is twirled.
They were sentenced to five years in prison for “seditious acts.” Everywhere in the world there are people intent on stamping out joy, and in many cases they are running governments.
