Warum ist diese Petition wichtig?

We ask you to participate in preventing the execution of Toomaj by signing this online petition and support this music artist! The regime of the Islamic Republic has a dark history in killing artists.
Iran's security forces arrested Salehi on September 12th, 2021 in his house in Isfahan. He was charged with 'propaganda against the regime' and 'insulting the supreme leadership authority. He was released on bail on September 21st, pending a trial. On January 23rd, 2022, the Islamic Revolutionary Court of Shahin Shahr sentenced Salehi to six months in jail and a fine.
Salehi was arrested again on October 30th, 2022, during the Mahsa Amini protests. Fars news agency, affiliated with the IRGC, described him as one of “the leaders of the riots who promoted violence.” The state media also said that Salehi was arrested during a border-crossing, a claim which was denied by Salehi's social media administrator, who announced that he was arrested in the province of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari, not a border province.
His last music YouTube video posted prior to his October 2022 arrest on included the lyrics, "Someone's crime was dancing with her hair in the wind. Someone's crime was that he or she was brave and criticized... 44 years of your government. It's the year of failure."
