Popular rapper Toomaj Salehi wrote songs in support of the protest movement in Iran following the death of Jina Mahsa Amini in 2022. He has been in jail for over a year.
Popular Iranian rapper Toomaj Salehi was sentenced to death over his role in supporting the protest movement triggered by the death of Jina Mahsa Amini, Iranian reformist newspaper Shargh Daily reported quoting the musician’s lawyer.
“Branch 1 of Isfahan Revolutionary Court … sentenced Toomaj Salehi to death on the charge of corruption on Earth,” the singer’s lawyer Amir Raisian told the newspaper.
The charge covers a broad range of offenses including those related to Islamic morality and can carry the death penalty.
Salehi, 33, was arrested for showing support for anti-government protests, following the death of 22-year-old Iranian-Kurdish woman Jina Mahsa Amini in September 2022. He had also written songs about the protests.
The Iranian Immamate is wildly popular in Iran and the middle east generally. They’ve got homicidal fanatics all over the place ready to kill Jews and Americans and anyone else that suggests political power is derived from the consent of the governed and not from sky daddy.
Have you ever met an Iranian?
Lmao this. Pretty much every Iranian you talk to in a trusted environment hates their government. And then most of them are pretty hardcore atheists either. Like nothing wrong with being atheist but to a degree that makes me personally already uncomfortable.
Yeah, outside of Iran.
I have. They fled Iran for fear of death. Most abandoned that retarded religion soon after.
„That retarded religion“, gtfo honestly.
Hey, some of them didn’t. Their children ended up as criminals, go figure.
Can we get rid of this racist BS @mods?
