Mehdi Ghasemi, the head of FATA in Bushehr, revealed that the group, allegedly led by two sisters, had been identified. They are accused of creating “vulgar videos,” including semi-nude, mixed-gender dancing clips, and sharing them across more than a dozen Instagram pages.

Following judicial authorization, the leaders and members of the group were detained. Ghasemi confirmed that their Instagram accounts were deactivated, and the individuals were handed over to the relevant judicial bodies.

The report did not disclose the identities or the current whereabouts of those arrested.
