Membrii formatiei de metal Confess din Iran condamnati la inchisoare

 Membrii formatiei Confess din Iran au fost condamnati la inchisoare de catre Tribunalul Revoutionar din Teheran.

Acestia au primit aceasta sentinta pentru ca au ales sa cante metal. Solsitul Nikan Khosravi a fost condamnat sa primeasca si 74 de lovituri cu biciul. Decizia este definitiva.

In urma cu 4 ani formatia a mai fost arestata de Garda Revolutionara a Iranului si au fost pasibili chiar de pedeapsa capitala. Khosravi a declarat atunci: "If you insult the Prophet you will get executed, because he's dead and he can't defend himself. But if you blaspheme God and question his existence, he can forgive you. That was why we didn't get executed."
