Parastoo Ahmadi sang while wearing a sleeveless dress during a concert livestreamed on her YouTube channel in December 2024. Iran’s laws ban public performances by women and require them to wear headscarves and modest clothing.

Iran’s judiciary launched proceedings against the 29-year-old after the video went viral, gaining millions of views, saying the performance was “in violation of the country’s legal and cultural regulations”.

    Oh, so you were trying to address the part about Germany, not Japan. I assumed the latter because I didn’t expect you to go back to item one after starting to respond to item 2.

    It also didn’t help that your three paragraphs didn’t have anything to say about ordinary German citizens either.
