A group of six Iranian youths who filmed a video dancing around to Pharrell's song 'Happy' were sentenced on Wednesday to six months in prison and 91 lashes. The director of the video, Sassan Solemani, got a longer one-year sentence and the same amount of lashes. But the group had cause to celebrate, since the sentences are being suspended. That means, if they are not arrested again for three years the punishments will be dropped, their lawyer Farshid Rofugaran told Iran Wire.
