Morrocan metalhead update

from: Totalnews

Eleven heavy metal fans and band members have been freed on bail, pending an appeal against sentences recently imposed on them for offences against morality. Three others have been refused bail. The case has caused outrage across the world, after the 14 - including members of the bands Infected Brain, Nekros and Reborn - were jailed for distributing material deemed to "undermine good morals" and "making people listen, with bad intent, to songs which contravene good morals or incite debauchery". The 11 now out on bail, were sentenced to between one and six months imprisonment. The three refused bail were jailed for a year, because they were found guilty of "employing seductive methods with the aim of undermining the faith of a Muslim".
