Iranian rapper Toomaj Salehi - who was arrested during the Woman, Life, Freedom protests that swept Iran in 20
Iranian rapper Toomaj Salehi - who was arrested during the “Woman, Life, Freedom” protests that swept Iran in 2022 - was sentenced to death, Salehi's lawyer, Amir Raesian, said Wednesday.
An Iranian court sentenced outspoken rapper Toomaj Salehi to death after his arrest over songs that criticized the government, his lawyer said Wednesday. "The primary court sentenced Toomaj Salehi to the harshest punishment, death, on the charge of 'corruption on Earth,'" Salehi's lawyer, Amir Raesian, said in an interview with Iranian news outlet Shargh Daily. The sentence by the Islamic Republic Revolution Court of Isfahan contradicted an Iranian Supreme Court ruling that said Salehi's case qualified for amnesty, Raesian said.
