A dancing duo in North Ossetia has faced threats and insults after a video of them twerking at a local university campus went viral. The young man and woman issued separate video apologies, including one by force, but some weren't satisfied, arguing the couple violated local mores. Some have likened the treatment the two have faced to the persecution often witnessed in neighboring Chechnya, where alleged immorality can be cause for cruel treatment.
