Arrested For Dancing The Macarena In The Streets Of Saudi Arabia
- 7 years ago
A 14-year-old was detained in Saudi Arabia for dancing the Macarena in front of cars stopped at a traffic light.
The Saudi police tracked him down after seeing video footage of him online, and accused the teenager of “improper public behavior.”
But this isn’t the first time the Saudi police have detained people based on online videos. A woman was arrested for wearing “suggestive clothing” while walking through the ancient village of Ushaiqer and a Saudi singer was arrested for dabbing on stage.
All three we released without charge.
