Teenage girls arrested over Instagram video showing them dancing in front of Iranian war memorial – and could face jail
TWO teenage girls have been arrested by Iran’s chilling morality police for dancing together in public.
Tehran’s twisted laws mean the duo could now face prison time after draconian officials branded their outfits “inappropriate” despite them wearing jeans and jumpers.
Viral footage released by the girls and posted onto Instagram soon caught the evil eyes of the Iranian authorities.
In the video, the pair perform a choreographed dance routine together in front of the Monument to the Unknown Martyrs of the Sacred Defence war memorial in Tehran.
The monument, designed by Italian architect Marcello D’Olivo, was built to honour those killed in the Iran-Iraq War between 1980 and 1982.
The morality police are said to have detained the women shortly after the video was uploaded.
Dancing in groups has been strictly banned in Iran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution with officials labelling it a “sinful act”.
Iranian authorities also said the girl’s outfits were “inappropriate”, according to Iran International.
The footage shows the women both wearing jeans.
One of them has rips in hers but no skin is on show.
The same woman is also in a blue cropped top which is covered up by a hooded jacket.
A pink bandage is also wrapped around her right hand.
Her friend has a multicoloured sweater on.
Both also have their hair uncovered despite the morality police typically forcing all women to conceal their hair.
A growing number of young girls have turned a blind eye to these strict policies across the past few years.
The ladies are also believed to have had their Instagram accounts blocked after they were detained for posting the dance.
The official punishment the women face is still unconfirmed with Iran’s authorities known to uphold unjust charges against those who go against the regime.
According Article 637 of the Iranian Penal Code, dancing in public is classed as a “crime against public modesty”.
People in similar positions as the women have been sentenced to flogging by 99 lashes in the past.
In 2014, six young men and women were handed down suspended sentences of a year behind bars as well as 91 lashes for a dance video.
They were arrested after being caught in a video dancing to Pharrell Williams‘ hit song “Happy”.
TEHRAN’S HORROR REGIME
Women are facing tighter restrictions than ever before in Iran with a new bill is set to toughen up regulations governing how they can dress and act in public.
The bill says that anyone found “naked, semi-naked, or wearing clothing deemed improper in public” can be arrested without question and handed over to the judicial authorities.
People refusing to comply could be banned from leaving Iran or even placed on a social media hiatus of up to two years if they post content deemed inappropriate online.
The law is yet to be passed by Tehran’s government but officers are already implementing it, claim several women.
The footage of the woman in the airport appears to be the latest example of Iranian women growing tired of the mandatory hijab laws.
Back in November, a courageous Iranian student stripped to her underwear after she was allegedly assaulted by morality cops over her hijab.
Her clothes and headscarf were both torn during the alleged assault at the Azad University of Science and Research in Tehran, Iran International reports.
Footage shows the woman sat near-nude outside a university before being bundled violently into a car by police.
She was also reportedly accused of being mentally ill and taken to a nearby hospital.
This “headscarf revolution” was all fuelled by the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022.
Amini died in the custody of Tehran’s “morality police” after being arrested for violating Iran’s hijab rules.
She was beaten to death for wearing an “improper” hijab on September 16.
Women of all ages ripped off their compulsory hijabs at public demonstrations in defiance of the nation’s feared morality police.
Hundreds of people were killed, including dozens of security personnel, in a brutal crackdown and thousands of protesters were arrested.
Reports of torture and death at the hands of officials have also surfaced.
Iran's Morality Police
UNDER Iranian law, rooted in Sharia law, women must cover their hair with a hijab and wear long, loose-fitting clothing.
The Guidance Patrol – aka the morality police – are in charge of arresting women who violate the conservative dress code.
Tasked with ensuring Islamic morals are respected, they spend their days patrolling public spaces in vans to crack down on “improper” behaviour and clothing.
Women detained by cops are either given a warning or bundled into a van and whisked away to a “correctional facility” or a police station.
They are then lectured on how to dress before being released to their male relatives.
Since the 1980s, many women have been beaten to death by the callous morality police, or tortured into given false confessions.
Various clips this year have shown their increased presence as the country ramps up its violent crackdowns on women.
One disturbing video shows the moment Iran’s twisted morality police hurl a woman in the back of one of their patrol vans.
Before this a woman was filmed tackling a girl to the ground and attacking her as she screamed – seemingly because she hadn’t covered her hair.
Video has shown the morality police snatching women off the streets and bundling them into vans for wearing jeans in public.
Tehran announced a fresh crackdown on “anomalies” to its religious rules under the “Nour Project” in April.
The Jerusalem Post reports suggest crackdowns on behaviour have been violent.
Sexual harassment, beatings, arrests and the use of tasers have been reported around the country.
‘Unacceptable’ – Michael van Gerwen furious as Luke Littler hoodoo continues as Dutch Darts Masters
FUMING Michael van Gerwen claimed his fourth successive defeat to Luke Littler was “unacceptable”.
Twenty-two days after their meeting in the PDC World Championship final, the Dutchman was beaten 6-3 by the Nuke in his backyard of Den Bosch in the quarter-finals of the Dutch Darts Masters.
Littler was himself then sunk 7-6 by Sephen Bunting in the semis.
Last year’s champion MVG – he lives only 10 minutes from the venue – fell 3-0 down but pulled it back to 3-3, capitalising in leg five when Littler bust his score of five on double 17.
Van Gerwen, 35, lost to the 18-year-old in Amsterdam in September, Prague in October and then at Ally Pally on January 3 as they contested for the Sid Waddell Trophy.
This latest loss in his homeland continued the hoodoo at the hands of Littler.
The three-time world champion said: “I played terrible tonight. This performance was not acceptable.
“I was really focused all day and wanted to win this trophy so much.
“No matter how hard I tried I just couldn’t get them when I wanted them. I was lucky to be 3-3 – it could have been 6-0.”
Van Gerwen, the world No.3, was playing with a broken toe sustained in a freak accident on his recent family holiday to Thailand.

He said: “It’s annoying but you can’t do anything about it.
“It happened last week on holiday.
“Accidents can happen. I enjoyed my holiday. I definitely had a nice rest.”
Van Gerwen’s exit meant there would be a new winner of the Toon Greebe trophy, which is named after a local player who died in October 2023 aged 35.
Raymond van Barneveld, Holland’s most successful player, lost 6-5 in the quarters to Stephen Bunting but the contest saw 32 missed doubles across 11 legs.
Barney, 57, had hinted the previous day he might retire soon, saying: “Maybe only two or three years left in me.”
Luke Littler prize money breakdown
Here is all the prize money Luke Littler has won so far after being crowned 2025 PDC World Darts Championship winner:
World Championship 2025 – £500,000
World Championship 2024 – £200,000

Luke Littler OUT of Dutch Darts Masters after losing to Stephen Bunting in semi-final shootout
LUKE LITTLER crashed out of the Dutch Darts Masters after losing to Stephen Bunting in the semis.

But Littler was unable to get the better of him for a second time.
And the 18-year-old was sent packing just an hour after demolishing Michael van Gerwen.
Littler was leading 3-1 at one stage before collapsing to a 7-6 defeat.
He even finished with a tournament-high average of 107.59.

I have no problem disciplining other people’s kids – I won’t have someone else’s child trash my house, says Zoe Hardman
IT’S a tricky situation to be in as a parent – do you discipline other people’s children when they’re not around?
Some parents might swear they’d never do it and would rage if anyone tried to tell their little angels off, but Zoe Hardman isn’t one of them.
The Heart FM DJ Zoe Hardman discussed the controversial topic along with friend and PR pro Georgia Dayton on their podcast, Made by Mammas, where they chat all things motherhood and solve dilemmas from other parents.
In a recent episode one mum wrote in to ask how she should handle her friends not discipling their kids, and Zoe got right to business as she admitted she “loved” the question.
Zoe admitted that whenever she drops her own kids off for playdates she’ll let the other parent know they can discipline them, since she won’t be there.
The mum admitted she’s “really hot” on stuff like saying please and thank you, as well as other basic manners, so has no problem with her kids being pulled up on it.
And it goes the other way too, the mum added.
She explained: “At the same time I’ll always say ‘if anything goes wrong here I’m going to come down on [your kids] and I’ll report back.’
“I’m a bit of a stickler for that because I won’t have someone else kid coming into my house and trashing it.”
In fact, Zoe admitted she once had a kid come of to her house who ended up breaking one of her kids’ Christmas presents “on purpose”.
According to the mum, they “smashed it, snapped it, and thew it and stamped on it.”
“I just couldn’t believe it,” Zoe said, before admitting she went “straight to the mum and had that conversation with them.”
After sharing the podcast clip on social media, one user agreed they will discipline other people’s kids, but only if it’s a must.
They commented: “I will always discipline with good intentions in mind, but I also don’t wanna be that moany depressing mum.
“I’m trying to find the balance but don’t know what that looks like currently.”
Replying to the comments, the Made By Mamma account wrote: “It’s definitely hard to know when to discipline and when not to especially when it’s a friend’s kids.”
Previously, Zoe admitted she sometimes struggles with the “thankless task” of raising her children, and has called for more recognition for the role mums play in society.
“Currently on the floor, I know I’m capable of lots and I’m a good mum, but it’s a thankless task, both from family, day to day and society as a whole”, she told broadcaster Zoe Hardman and Georgia Dayton on their podcast Made By Mammas.
“More recognition for stay at home mums would help self-worth, as we don’t get it from anywhere else.”
“Stay at home mums have the hardest job in the world”, Zoe said, agreeing with the mum’s sentiment.
Zoe said that society should focus on stay at home mums having the most important job, and realise how brilliant and hardworking they are.
This way, stay at home mums wouldn’t be battling with their self-worth, she said.
Georgia added that stay at home mums have no breaks, and aren’t able to take time for themselves.
“So many people think that they can’t ask for help, because you don’t have to have the child care, but you do”, she said.
You really need a break, being a stay at home mum is more than a full time job, and so therefore you do need to allow yourself little breaks.”
“You’re not a robot, I completely agree with you”, Zoe echoed.
Different parenting techniques
Here are some widely recognised methods:
Authoritative Parenting
This technique will often foster independence, self-discipline, and high self-esteem in children.
It is often considered the most effective, this technique is where parents set clear expectations – enforcing rules – whilst also showing warmth and support.
Authoritarian Parenting
This is opposite to authoritative parenting, as it is where the parent sets high demands but is low on responsiveness.
It involves ensuring the child is obedient and often employ punitive measures. While this can lead to disciplined behaviour, it may also result in lower self-esteem and social skills in children.
Permissive Parenting
Permissive parents tend to be indulgent and lenient, often taking on a role more akin to a friend than an authority figure. They are highly responsive but lack demandingness, granting children a lot of freedom. This method can nurture creativity and a free-spirited nature but may also result in poor self-regulation and difficulties with authority.
Uninvolved Parenting
Uninvolved or neglectful parenting is marked by low responsiveness and low demands. Parents in this category offer minimal guidance, nurturing, or attention. This often leaves children feeling neglected, which can have significant negative effects on their emotional and social development.
Helicopter Parenting
Helicopter parents are extremely involved and overprotective, frequently micromanaging their children’s lives. Although their goal is to protect and support, this approach can hinder a child’s ability to develop independence and problem-solving skills.
Free-Range Parenting
Free-range parenting encourages children to explore and learn from their surroundings with minimal parental interference. This method promotes independence and resilience but requires a safe and supportive environment to be successful.
Attachment Parenting
According to Marriage.com, Attachment parenting focuses on physical closeness and emotional bonding, often through practices such as co-sleeping and baby-wearing. This approach aims to create secure attachments and emotional well-being, but demands significant time and emotional commitment from parents.
Each of these parenting techniques has its own set of strengths and weaknesses. The key is to find a balanced approach that aligns with the family’s values and meets the child’s needs for a healthy, happy upbringing.
I visited the Turkish hidden gem that’s the country’s ‘best kept secret’ with TUI resorts and private beaches
YOU may think you know Turkey – but what if I told you it was harbouring a hidden gem you likely haven’t heard of?
Just half an hour away from the western city of Izmir sits a region with bustling bazaars and picturesque bays and beaches.
Seferihisar might just be the country’s best-kept secret.
I was staying on the coast at the newly-renovated Angora Beach Hotel where I could soak up everything this region had to offer.
The resort was recently awarded TUI’s Blue classification, an accolade given due to its authenticity, local cuisine and top quality service.
And it delivered on all fronts.
“Can I get you anything else?” is likely to be the phrase you hear most when staying at this intimate complex with food, drinks and activities on offer around the clock.
There are two restaurants and three bars to keep you fed and watered (with plenty of stronger options if you desire), plus a 24/7 snack bar because who doesn’t need a slice of pizza and an ice cream between each meal?
The restaurant puts on a buffet for breakfast, lunch and dinner that is packed with local favourites such as manti (meat-filled dumplings) served with garlic yoghurt and tomato sauce, or lamachan bread — a speciality flatbread baked with minced lamb, as well as everyone’s continental favourites.
For those craving a finer dining experience, the Culinarium has a four-course a la carte menu where all-inclusive guests can dine free of charge once per stay. I loved the octopus starter.
Plus, from June to August there are barbecues, themed evenings and gala dinners.
But summer is not the only time to visit this paradise with the weather staying warm well into September and sometimes beyond.
Activities at the hotel run throughout the year too, from dancing to karaoke, quiz nights and entertainment which while I visited included some of the winners of Argentina’s Got Talent.
Or join one of the cocktail classes held for visitors. There are even language classes for those who want to brush up on their Turkish — be warned, though, it’s not easy.
Aside from all the activities, history buffs will take a shine to this hotel because of its proximity to Ephesus, an ancient city that locals pride themselves on being bigger and more impressive than Pompeii.
You can book excursions through TUI, for two or in groups which will include collection from the hotel and a handy guide to share their knowledge with you.
I didn’t know much about this extraordinary place before visiting but you don’t need a keen interest in history to understand the significance of this site.
And if wandering around the 2,000-year-old buildings seems a bit sleepy, I guarantee learning about Roman toilets will at least perk you up — I won’t spoil the fun of it, though.
It’s a (long) stone’s throw away from the House of Virgin Mary, a shrine believed by many to be where the biblical Mary lived, and possibly even died, in the years after Jesus’ death.
Tangerine trees, ruins and olive groves
For those who believe or not, it is a spectacular sight, immersed in thousands of years of history with a reconstructed house built on the same foundations Mary is said to have lived.
But Seferihisar is not just cultural offerings.
The peaceful district is ideal for gentle strolls through the sweeping landscape further inland, littered with tangerine trees, olive groves and millennia-old ruins.
You can, of course, take advantage of the region’s sizzling sunshine, too, without even leaving the hotel.
There are three pools and a private beach looking out on to the Greek island of Samos.
If you want to venture further afield, a number of companies offer boat trips that run on a daily basis to Samos from the nearby harbour of Kusadasi, which you can see from miles away thanks to its Hollywood-style sign.
Most routes take visitors to three bays, perfect for getting your flippers on and exploring with a snorkel to make the most of the crystal-clear waters and the fish that inhabit them.
Some excursions offer freshly cooked barbecued fish on board, served with dips, bread and unlimited drinks to enjoy on the comfortable cushions of the berth.
I’d recommend a good few hours out on the water if you’ve got your sea legs, to get the most out of it.
Naturally, thanks to its vast coastline and gentle waters, a boat trip is the perfect way to unwind and relax.
But for me, it still couldn’t top the hotel’s on-site spa with a long treatment menu, including variations of the traditional Turkish Bath.
This experience begins with a sweaty relaxation period in the sauna before you’re scrubbed down on a warmed marble slab, and gently washed by a massage therapist.
After a short break to sip on some Turkish tea, you’ll then be taken off for a head-to-toe massage.
Who could say no to that?
GO: SEFERIHISAR
GETTING/STAYING THERE: Seven nights’ all-inclusive at the 4T TUI Blue Angora Beach is from £629pp including flights from Stansted on May 3, plus 20kg hold luggage per person and transfers.

My husband complains of feet cold to the bone. What does it mean?
OUR resident specialist and NHS GP, Dr Zoe Williams, shares her expert advice.
Today, Dr Zoe helps a reader who has several concerning symptoms.
Q) MY husband has been complaining for a while about extremely cold feet.
He says they’re bone-cold from the inside, not just on the outside.
He also wakes up in the middle of the night, in extremely hot sweats.
Plus, he has asthma and eczema which are now a little worse than normal, has slight liver issues, is possibly on the cusp of diabetes and gets ocular migraines.
Could these symptoms be one problem, which we can go to the GP with?
A) The cold feet could be caused by a circulation issue or nerve damage to the feet, or it could be a symptom of a systemic or autoimmune condition.
But it sounds like there is a lot going on and your GP is best placed to commence a line of investigation to try and figure out what is causing these symptoms.
As GPs, we often ask our patients to only present one problem to us per consultation, as we only have ten minutes and need to give that whole appointment to one issue in order to deal with it properly.
But the exception is when you think several symptoms and issues might be linked.
Make a list of the symptoms you think may be connected, and present this to the GP.
They can arrange some blood tests and other investigations if required, then see you again for a follow-up.
TIP: The best sleeping position is on your back because it keeps the spine straight.
But some people with back pain find that sleeping on their side is best, with a pillow between the knees.
This may also help snorers and those who suffer with acid reflux.
