A popular dissident Iranian rapper has been sentenced to death for supporting protests over the death of a woman arrested for wearing an 'improper' hijab. Toomaj Salehi, 33, will be hanged for charges linked to a period of nationwide unrest following the death of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in police custody in 2022, Salehi's lawyer told Iranian newspaper Sharq on Wednesday. In public statements, Salehi had vocalised support for the wave of 'Women, Life, Freedom' demonstrations, leading to his arrest in October 2022. He also released songs criticising the Iranian regime and demanding greater liberties and women's rights. Salehi had posted pictures of himself attending some of the protests in support of Iranian-Kurd Mahsa Amini. Amini died in September 2022 after being arrested for allegedly violating strict hijab rules. Demonstrations since have led to thousands of arrests, as well as reports of torture and death at the hands of the Iranian state.

Israel would never do this. Israel has muslims in their parliment. Israel is a democracy. Iran is a thug dictatorship that hates women. If you support Iran over Israel you hate women too. Iran should be militarily dismantled piece by piece dead Mullah by dead Mullah. Bomb by bomb. God will protect Israel. That is why Iran pussed out and didn't retaliate against Israel when they found out Israel had stealth missiles. Israel is to patient with their enemies and plays to nicely against Gaza. They need to step it up to get rid of the muslim terrorists once and for all. Eliminate the women hating Mullahs and send them to hell to burn in misery forever.
Why do you support Iran? Do you condone abuse of women? I bet you are not married.
