25:14Now PlayingBehind closed doors, the secret trial of Iranian rapper Toomaj Salehi has raised alarm among lawyers, activists, and citizens who fear for his wellbeing and the lack of transparency in his case. Salehi, a dissident musician who openly opposes the Islamic Republic, was arrested last October and has been detained for over 230 days, the majority of that time served in solitary confinement. He was recently charged with moharebeh, an offense that translates to "waging war against God," which is punishable by death according to Iran's Islamic Sharia law. Reports of his mistreatment and torture have sparked international concern, with the US government pledging to monitor his situation. Iranians both inside the country and in the diaspora have rallied in support of Salehi, demanding justice and fair treatment. Representatives from Germany, Austria, New Zealand, and Italy, who serve as his political sponsors, have also expressed their worries and demanded access to his court files. Salehi's powerful protest songs have resonated with many, shedding light on social issues and government injustices. His arrest came shortly after a candid interview with foreign media where he condemned the regime's corruption and oppression. As the trial unfolds in secrecy, the world stays vigilant while demanding Toomaj’s immediate and unconditional release.
