Iranian media say a popular rapper has been sentenced to death on charges linked to the mass protests of the last two years. Toomaj Salehi publicly backed the demonstrations triggered by the death of Jina Mahsa Amini who died in the custody of Iran's so-called morality police.
They woke #MajidrezaRahnavard’s family at 7am with the call: “Go to Behesht-e Zahra cemetery, grave number 66. We have executed and buried your son.” Do everything you can to amplify Iranian voices. There are many more innocent people slated for sudden executions, including three children. #betheirvoice #Repost @middleeastmatters with @use.repost ・・・ The Islamic Republic has executed two young protesters in less than a week!! 🚨World leaders must take tangible actions to pressure the government to halt all executions immediately! #StopExecutionsInIran #اعدام_نکنید Correction: Slide 3 should say he was arrested on Nov. 19. #stoptheexecutions #iranianprotests #iranianprotesters #humanrights #womanlifefreedom #zanzendegiazadi #iranianrevolution2022 #mahsaamini #jinaamini #hadisnajafi #nikashakarami #sarinaesmailzadeh #toomajsalehi #shervinhajiaghapour #jinjiyanazadi #saytheirnames #opiran #mahsaaminiمهسا_امینی #mahsa_amini #freeiran https://www.instagram.com/p/CmFSrdzOoCe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
This was just a quick painting to honor the people of Iran in their dream of becoming free.
It has been proven that when victims/prisoners have their names go viral, the Islamic Regime does not un - alive them.
The only theory I have of this, is that the IR doesn’t want the spotlight of how evil they truly are. So please, even if you don’t make a post, like any hashtag of any of the victims to save a life. It has and does work and only takes a second of kindness to do.
I have a video on YT if you’d like to see the speed-paint.
The Iranian Regime is going to execute rapper Toomaj Salehi for supporting protests of Jina Amini’s murder by the regime in his songs.
Iranian activist Elica Le Bon says, “Iranians in the diaspora picked up on the fact that the regime tends not to execute people who become known to the international community. We have seen many examples of prisoners that were either released on bail or had their sentences commuted through our “say their names to save their lives” campaign on social media, using hashtags to garner attention for their causes, and even before social media existed, through getting the stories of political prisoners to international media outlets. Once reported on, and once the eyes shift to the regime and the reality of its pending brutality, realizing that the action is not worth the repercussions, we have seen them back down and not execute. For that reason, this is part of an urgent campaign for readers to talk about Toomaj as much as you can, using the hashtag #FreeToomaj or #ToomajSalehi. Every comment makes a difference, and if we were wrong, what did we lose by trying?”
