TEHRAN:
More than 30 students who partied at a graduation ceremony in northern Iran have received 99 lashes each for violating the Islamic republic’s morality code, a news agency reported
“Following a report about a large number of young boys and girls mingling together in a villa around Qazvin, all those taking part in the party were arrested immediately,” Mizanonline quoted on Thursday the town’s prosecutor general as saying.

Esmail Sadeghi Niyaraki said the youths were put on trial and each sentenced to 99 lashes, a punishment which morality police carried out the same day “so to be a lesson for those who attempt to breach the conventions”. No date was given.
“The arrest of this many young girls and boys, who were half-naked, consuming alcohol and were engaged in indecent behaviour, hurt the public opinion,” the official said.

“Thank God, within less than 24 hours, interrogation, investigation, trial, issue of verdict and carrying out the verdict were completed,” said Niyaraki.
Mixed dancing is banned in Iran, especially if females do not wear the Islamic veil, and alcohol is prohibited.
Niyaraki also warned that any restaurants or catering halls which allowed such mixed events or served alcohol would be closed down.

If that is what we believed then there was no need of partition. Pakistan call herself as an Islamic State so Sharia laws should be implemented. Pakistan is nor a secular state and Islam is not a religion where affair between a man and his God is private affair.
How long can an ideology suppress modern living before there is large-scale revolt? Evolution applies to everything and the ideology also has to adapt to the times.
Why this suppression in the name of religion? partying is one own choice. Feel sad no freedom of expression at all, sad they cannot even celebrate their graduation.
@Muslim First Pakistan was not named Islamic Republic of Pakistan from day 1. Pakistan was made for the minorities not just muslims.
Iran and Saudi arabia are two sides of the same coin, both the nations are their to divide, create mayhem and mischievous shenanigans masquerading as the righteous vicegerents of the Islamic world.
