According to Fox News, Security forces started looking for the five girls soon after the video, which was filmed near Ekbatan, west of Tehran, gained traction online. Moreso, in the video, the ladies weren’t wearing headgears, which are required for women in Iran, as the video was shared on International Women’s Day.
The Shahrak Ekbatan Twitter account, which tweeted about happenings in the area, verified that Iranian security agents were looking for girl. A prospective arrest and custody had been forewarned.
Responding to the incident, Rema, the singer of the song, while reacting to the news via his official 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 dream with you.
