TEHRAN: Iran?s top legal authority wants to prosecute organisers of a party arranged by Tehran City Hall commemorating Iranian Women?s Day, ISNA news agency reported. A video of Tuesday?s event, during which young girls danced in front of a mixed audience in the Iranian capital, was widely broadcast on social media networks. It shows a group of girls dressed in tight jeans and a type of tutu performing a choreographed dance set to music played by a traditional orchestra and a choir composed mostly of women. According to ISNA, Iran?s attorney general Mohammad Jafar Montazeri felt the event had included ?acts against public morality? and Islamic tradition. Montazeri ordered Tehran?s prosecutor to ?quickly examine the issue and launch legal proceedings against those responsible?.
