A witness said police raided the concert as it was going to end late on Wednesday night near the town of Karaj, about 50km west of the capital. "Police detained the young people who had gathered to enjoy music in a private orchard," said the witness, who requested anonymity for fear of government retaliation.
Calls to authorities were not immediately returned on Sunday, but the public prosecutor in Karaj, Ali Farhadi, said Saturday that about 230 people were arrested during the underground concert, which he described as "satanic". "Most of them were wealthy young people who were not aware of the satanic nature of the concert," Farhadi told state television. - more on this story
