Condemn Iran for sentencing teens to 91 lashes for dancing to 'Happy' video

The Issue

Iran just sentenced six youths to 91 lashes and 6 months in prison for dancing in an online viral video to the Pharrell Williams song Happy. Don't let the extremist regime steal their own people's basic human right to be free, to dance, and to be happy. Iran should not be allowed to chair the largest voting bloc at the U.N. Human Rights Council while it grossly violates universal human rights and liberties.
