Iranian rapper, activist and hip-hop artist Toomaj Salehi has been sentenced to death by a court in Iran. Join us in calling on Iranian authorities to STOP Toomaj’s execution now.
Content warning: contains reference to the death penalty. Please note: we will hand in the number of people who signed this petition but we will not include individual names for reasons of safety for some activists.
We all have the right to live without fear and the freedom to call for justice when we see injustice.
Toomaj is a vocal supporter of the Woman Life Freedom protests, sparked after 22-year-old Mahsa Zhina Amini was killed after being arrested and beaten by Iranian authorities enforcing the country’s abusive forced veiling laws. Through his music, Toomaj calls for freedom and an end to the violent repression of protestors by Iranian authorities.
Toomaj has been in detention for over a year in connection with his music and posts on social media denouncing the unjust practices of the Iranian government.
For too long, the Iranian government has been using the death penalty to instil fear in the Iranian population and tighten their grip on power. At least 853 people were executed In 2023, marking a 48% rise from 576 in 2022. This flagrant disregard for human rights cannot be allowed to go on.
Now more than ever, we must act in solidarity and call for an end to this injustice.
Urge Iranian authorities to stop Toomaj’s execution and release him immediately.
