Wearing traditional dress, Bita Qasemi, left, and Afshin Hashemi, tune instruments
prior to their performance to folk music by their Khonya group, at Honar Cultural
Center in Tehran, Saturday, Dec. 14, 2002. Two women singers broke taboo Saturday
to sing in a concert for an audience that also included men, a new move testing limits
on expanding social freedoms in Iran. After the 1979 Islamic revolution, clerics
banned women from singing or dancing for male audience as un-Islamic. (AP Photo/Vahid
