The rapper, Toomaj Salehi, was sentenced to death by a court in Isfahan following his arrest over nationwide protests in Iran. Human rights organizations have raised concerns about his torture in custody and potential execution.
U.N. experts highlighted the lack of transparency in the court proceedings for Salehi, mentioning his lawyer's absence and reports of torture, including a broken nose and fingers. Global condemnation, including from the U.S. Special Envoy for Iran, ensued.
