Excerpt:

Iranian police have arrested 5 members of an underground band suspected of producing music for Farsi-speaking, dissident satellite channels based in the U.S.
The semiofficial Fars news agency quotes senior police official Col. Sadeq Rezadoost as stating the band was producing songs for Los Angeles-based Iranian singers and providing videos to Farsi-speaking, dissident TV channels. The Wednesday report states the 5 have been turned over to the judiciary for trial. It did not name the band. Women-only groups are banned in Iran, and Western music is rejected as "decadent." Lots of Iranians count on underground bands to get bootleg videos of foreign-based singers. Contact with foreign-based dissident media attire is likewise banned in Iran.
