Summary

Iranian pop star Amir Hossein Maghsoudloo, known as Tataloo, has been sentenced to death for blasphemy after the supreme court overturned a prior five-year prison sentence.

Tataloo, who had been living in Istanbul since 2018, was extradited to Iran in 2023 and has since been detained.

He also faces charges of promoting “prostitution” and spreading “propaganda” against the Islamic Republic.

The verdict is not final and can still be appealed.

Once a figure courted by conservatives, Tataloo gained fame for his controversial music and tattoos.

      You mean like the raft of executive orders that Trump just signed that were directly out of Project 2025?

      You mean like how they’re murdering women by preventing life saving health care?

      At least this dude said something. These women were killed for simply being a woman.

      The action is already started.

        I don’t believe you know what “murder” means.

        Again, someone call me when this project 2025 stuff starts coming to light. And I mean legitimately.
