"I didn't want to offend anyone with this dance; it just so happened. But yesterday (on January 26), three strangers approached me and scared me. They said that if I fail to apologize publicly, then I'd face big problems. Then they forced me to stand in front of the camera and apologize. I was scared and confused," said the girl, whose words are quoted by the "Ossetia.news".
