The shocking video circulated the internet among Iranian anti-government activists.

It shows the moment when police forces found an Iranian woman dancing in the street without covering her head which puts in her place of violating the laws for both acts.

The video has angered social media users who called for Iranians to protest the oppression of the government and the human rights violations they carry out against women in particular.

In Iran, women have been subjected to several violations as they attempted to protest the obligatory head cover laws and the ban of dancing in public.
