News Center- A video showing the arrest of a young female violinist at the Rasht Municipality Square has sparked a wave of protests on social media platforms. The video shows how Iran’s security forces forcibly arrested the woman and confiscated her violin.

No information has been received about the date of her arrest and where she was transferred.

Since the video was shared on social media platforms, many social media users have criticized the behavior of Iran’s security forces towards the street performer and said that playing a musical instrument in the street should not be considered a crime. Some social media users have defined the arrest as “double oppression” against women trying to earn a living while the number of unemployment among young women are very high in the country.
