An Iranian rapper jailed for supporting anti-government protests has been sentenced to death, his lawyer has said
Toomaj Salehi in his songs supported protests in 2022 that erupted over the death of Mahsa Amini, a woman who died in police custody after allegedly wearing an “improper” hijab.
One of Mr Salehi’s lawyers, Amir Raesian, said the rapper would appeal against the issuing of a death sentence.
Iranian authorities have not commented.
