In Iran, some of the video people who have posted on Instagram have been arrested, among them an adolescent who filmed himself jumping.
According to activists, Maedeh Hojabri is just one of Instagram users who were arrested. The identities of others have not been confirmed yet.
Her account, which is currently suspended, had over 600,000 followers.
Since the arrest, Hojabri appeared in a television program along with other arrestees. What she said was considered by activists as a compulsory confession, a tactic often used by Iranian authorities.
On the television appeared a young girl with her hidden face, weeping and funky as she showed why she was filming the videos in question.

"I did not pay attention. I had some followers and videos I did for them. I did not want to encourage others to do the same. I did not work with other people, no one trained me. I'm taking gymnastics. "
There is nothing known about the personal life of Hojabr or what city of Iran is, but since the arrest, her videos have been distributed by hundreds of people.
Her name is Maeade Mahi. Recently she was arrested just because of uploading her dancing videos on her Instagram. If you are a woman in Iran and you dance or sing or show your hair then you are a criminal. If you want to enjoy your true self, you have to brake the laws every day. pic.twitter.com/0eIq5ld5x6

Videos are filmed in a bedroom, while Hojabri leans unclad in hijab, who is forced into public spaces. In the background Western, rep and Oriental music is heard.
Hossein Ronaghi, a blogger, says: "People do not believe that Iran is arrested 17-year-olds who jump, are happy and beautiful because they spread disillusion, while pedophiles walk free."
The locals believe authorities will stop using Instagram, which remains one of the unproven applications in Iran. Facebook and Twitter are actively filtered.
