Iran's Supreme Court Overturns Rapper Toomaj Salehi's Death Sentence, Orders Retrial
Jun 22, 2024, 11:35 AM
Iran's Supreme Court has overturned the death sentence of popular rapper Toomaj Salehi. Salehi, 33, was imprisoned for supporting nationwide protests against the Iranian regime, which were sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022. The court's decision comes after significant international outcry over his imprisonment. Salehi had been charged with the capital offense of 'corruption on earth' linked to the country's 2022-23 period of unrest. His lawyer announced the court's decision and indicated that a retrial has been ordered.
