Sad destiny
We regularly find funny pictures and emotional videos on the World Wide Web! Today: The sad outcome of a happy idea.
Hamburg, Zurich, Sydney. People around the world are dancing to ' Happy ' - now also in Iran . Without a happy ending. The Iranian 'moral police' is anything but happy about that. Even though six boys and girls only do what so many have done before them: sung, danced and laughed. For them, it went directly to jail .
Her film is 'vulgar', 'unchaste' and violates 'public purity' - this is the local charge of a police chief. Little understandable for Western Europeans. The teenagers jump on roofs and streets, show themselves in acrobatic poses, have fun. The same thing happened to Pharell Williams fans in Bucharest, Marburg and New York. For many Islamic-conservative citizens, the beginning of a decline in values. Since 1979, Iranian law has prohibited women from showing themselves in public. Another rule violation: the common dancing of unmarried men and women to Western pop music.
They enjoyed every second of the turn. They hope to bring a smile to others. With these words, the six young Iranians say goodbye in their video. In horror follows the arrest. They are supposed to have been tricked into believing their friends are involved in a car accident . A lie.
Worldwide, Pharell Williams caused a sensation with his song, unfortunately not only with happy moments. Only a short time ago, a young American girl died after posting "The happy song makes me HAPPY!" On her way to work on facebook.
The exit around the six Iranian boys and girls is still uncertain. The families are asked to pay a fine of $ 10, 000. Already her destiny triggers a wave of indignation worldwide.
