WORLD WORLDWIDE FRANCE IRAN - news journal UPDATE - (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]

 "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!
