An Iranian court has sentenced popular pop singer Amir Hossein Maghsoudloo, better known as Amir Tataloo, to death on charges of blasphemy against the Prophet Muhammad, according to local media reports on Sunday. The sentencing comes after the Supreme Court overturned his prior 5-year prison term. Amir Tataloo, internationally known for his underground music, had previously been extradited from Turkey to Iran. He is accused of insulting the Prophet Muhammad and criticizing Iran's Islamist dictatorship, actions considered blasphemy under Iranian law. Some reports indicate that the verdict is not yet final and the case remains open for appeal.
