An Iranian couple who filmed themselves dancing in front of Tehran's Azadi Tower and posted the footage to Instagram have each been sentenced to a total of 10 and a half years in prison.
Astiyazh Haghighi, 22, and her fiance Amir Mohammad Ahmadi, 21, were sentenced on Sunday after having been convicted of promoting indecency, colluding against national security, and producing propaganda against Iran's government, according to the Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) and IranWire, a news organisation run by Iranian journalists outside of the country.
