Reply to comment by Vic_O22 in Iranian couple filmed dancing in Tehran are jailed for 10 years by hugglenugget

I lived under a dictatorship, there is never a logical reason behind any of their actions. It is all about keeping power and "saving" face: If Iranian become socially liberated, they might ask for separation of state and religion, they don't want that and they are fighting tooth and nail for it.

"Saving face" and looking as ruthless and despicable as one can get the whole time they're doing it. I can't wait for the day that repressive and backward mafia government is tossed into the dustbin of history.
