Like other teenagers around the world, boys and girls in Iran celebrated International Go Skateboarding Day with a gathering. The event caused widespread controversy in the Islamic Republic of Iran when a video was shared online showing teens wearing Western-style clothing, girls with uncovered hair and the genders mixing. Five people who helped organise the event were arrested.
The girls have their hair and arms uncovered while the boys wear shorts and loose, Western-style T-shirts. They’re all chatting together in the same place, something unheard of in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
