He had been arrested in October 2022 during widespread protests against the regime. \u201cThe rapper has been detained, held in solitary confinement and was allegedly tortured following his arrest,\u201d CNN <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2024\/04\/25\/middleeast\/toomaj-salehi-death-sentence-iran-intl\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cToomaj\u2019s music is not only revolutionary because he is willing to go after the regime while living in Iran, but also because he goes after all the enablers of the regime both in Iran and overseas: the media, NGOs, and foreign politicians who don\u2019t stand up for the freedom of Iranians,\u201d political commentator Yashar Ali <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thereset.news\/p\/the-islamic-republic-in-iran-has\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">noted<\/a>. He continued:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><em>Toomaj has been in and out of prison for years on various absurd charges ranging from insulting the Supreme Leader to propaganda against the regime to propagandistic activity against the government, cooperation with hostile governments, and forming illegal groups to create insecurity in the country. The names used for these charges are propaganda; they don\u2019t reflect what Toomaj or anyone charged with these \u201ccrimes\u201d has done. Toomaj did nothing but fight for the freedom of all Iranians and call for an end to the regime.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThe Islamic Republic has sentenced dissident rapper Toomaj Salehi to execution,\u201d Reza Pahlavi, Iran\u2019s exiled Crown Prince, wrote. \u201cSince its inception, the Islamic Republic has waged war on artists, particularly those who have [used] their talents to advocate for Iran\u2019s liberation.
