More than 300 musicians in Iran have issued a statement against the death sentence of Toomaj Salihi.
On Sunday, April 29, 2024, more than 300 Iranian musicians expressed their support for Toomaj Salehi in a statement.
In the statement, they called Salihi the "cry of the legitimate demands of a generation in Iran" and called for the immediate abolition of his death sentence.
"The music community in Iran is in a terrible shock these days. The death sentence for this young artist on a false charge is an incredible and brutal act in the history of contemporary music in this country," the statement said.
