Salehi’s death sentence in April by a Revolutionary Court in the central city of Isfahan created confusion as even Iran’s state-run IRNA news agency and the judiciary did not formally confirm it
Protesters attend a rally against a death sentence given to Toomaj Salehi, a popular rapper in Iran and to support to the women of Iran, in Berlin, Germany, April 28, 2024.Iran’s Supreme Court overturned the death sentence of a government critic and a popular hip-hop artist, Toomaj Salehi – who came to fame over his lyrics about the death in police custody of Mahsa Amini in 2022 – his lawyer Amir Raisian said Saturday.
. Such courts in Iran often involve closed-door hearings with evidence produced secretary and give limited rights to those on trial. Salehi was released from prison last November after spending a year there on charges that his supporters said were based on the hip-hop artist’s music and participation in the protests that broke out in Iran over the death of Mahsa Amini, 22. Amini died in the custody of the country’s morality police after being detained for wearing her hijab too loosely.
