Social Media is debating about the curtailment of freedom of expression of the Child.
Saudi Police has detained a 14 year old boy after he was seen dancing to Spanish song ‘Macarena’ in Jeddah.
The boy whose name & nationality isn’t known can be seen wearing a striped t-shirt & shorts with headphones at a traffic signal & casually grooving to the song.
The 45 second video was posted by an onlooker on Twitter & has since been going viral since then with over 2,000 re-tweets.
The teenager was detained by the Police on charges of showing “improper behavior’ & “disruption of traffic”. It’s not clear if any official charges would be filed against him.
Earlier this month, a Saudi singer was arrested just for dabbing on stage.

Interestingly, Saudis are the active social media users but after the Macarena video went viral, there’s an increasing debate about the Freedom of Expression.
