Toomaj Salehi, a renowned Iranian rapper known for his support of women’s rights and criticism of the government, has been sentenced to death by a revolutionary court in Isfahan. The sentence stems from charges related to the 2022-23 unrest in Iran, where Salehi’s music and public statements expressed solidarity with the protests. Despite initially avoiding a death sentence due to a Supreme Court ruling, Salehi’s case was returned to a lower court and he was subsequently sentenced to six years and three months in prison. However, after publicly discussing torture in prison, Salehi faced new charges and was sentenced to death. The Iranian judiciary has yet to confirm the sentence, and Salehi has 20 days to appeal the ruling.
