Iranian authorities are cracking down on female vocalists who have defied the country's restrictions on women singing in public. In recent weeks, a number of performers have had their social media pages blocked, while others have been summoned for questioning by security officials. One singer was detained in the middle of a performance; another, whose appearance without a hijab went viral, was arrested and is still unaccounted for.
