Authorities searched for the five girls who ended up being detained for two days and were coerced into giving a false confession.The dance to the sound of “Calm Down”, by Rema and Selena Gomez, served as a motto for a new form of protest against the Iranian regime. A young Iranian woman, Mahsa Amini, was arrested in Tehran for not wearing the hijab correctly and ended up dying while in police custody.
There is no information about the whereabouts of the girls at this time.
