Iran: Campaign Against Rappers and Satanists

(Tehran, Iran) People are being arrested but, so far, there's no indication as to what punishment results.

Twelve people accused of promoting ‘satanism’ have been arrested in northwest Iran, a newspaper reported on Sunday.

“A number of people in the city of Orumiyeh who engaged in the promotion of ‘satanism’ through underground music and the production of blasphemous video clips were arrested,” the daily Resalat quoted senior police official Kheibar Tiba as saying.

The Islamic Republic said last year it would crack down on “indecent Western-inspired movements” such as rappers and satanists.

Heh.
