(en) France, FA: IRAN EMERGENCY: "WE LIVE IN A HORRIBLE PLACE". Press release of SUPPORT FOR TOOMAJ SALEHI (ca, de, fr, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

Date Tue, 14 May 2024 11:09:22 +0300


"We will rise to the top of the pyramid." ---- "Here, people are only alive. They have no life." ---- (Texts by Toomaj Salehi, 33, rapper, sentenced to death in Iran in April 2024) ---- Already arrested and sentenced to six months in prison for "disseminating propaganda against the state" in September 2021 because of his texts against the theocratic Islamist regime, then arrested in October 2022 for "incitement to sedition" during the "Woman, life, freedom" revolt, Toomaj Salehi was finally sentenced to six years and three months in prison in July 2023 with ban on practicing music. The artist was arrested again shortly after his release from prison in November 2023 and was just sentenced to death on April 24, 2024 for "corruption on Earth". He declared, like Bakunin:

"I thought the saddest situation for a person was to be alone under torture, now I understand that being the only one to be released while the others are still in prison is even more bitter."

Last November, Toomaj was able to meet the activist against the compulsory veil, Sepideh Rashnu, who must serve a four-year prison sentence. Then, in Evin prison (Tehran), in January of this year, he joined the hunger strike of Narges Mohammadi, human rights activist, 2023 Nobel Peace Prize winner, sentenced for having denounced religious dictatorship and its oppression against women.

On the evening of April 24, a banner depicting Toomaj Salehi was hung from a bridge on the Modares-Tehran highway to protest the verdict.

Art can be a formidable vector of expression and resistance in the face of repression, the authorities try in vain to silence Toomaj by sentencing him to death, his songs will continue to live and bring people together!

Against the increasingly numerous executions in Iran, for the release of Toomaj and all the people who pay with their freedom and their lives, their activism for the life and freedom of all,

LET'S SPREAD THE ANARCHIST FEDERATION'S CALL FOR SOLIDARITY.

LET'S MOBILIZE EVERYWHERE AGAINST THE EXECUTION OF TOOMAJ SALEHI!
