In Iran, a court sentenced famous singer Amir Hossein Maghsudlah (Tatalu) to death on charges of blasphemy.
37-year-old Iranian singer Amir Hossein Maghsudloo, known as Tataloo, is at the center of a scandal that could result in his execution. This was reported by The Independent in connection with the Iranian publication Etemad.
He was accused of insulting the Prophet Muhammad, propaganda against the Islamic Republic, supporting prostitution and publishing obscene content.
Tatalu was previously convicted of similar charges, but later received a five-year sentence. After the prosecutor’s appeal, the sentence was changed, and he now faces the death penalty.
The singer left Iran in 2018, moving to Turkey. However, in December 2023, he was deported back to Iran, where he was immediately imprisoned and brought to trial.
Iranian media later said the execution sentence was not yet final and could be appealed. However, the chances of a reduced sentence remain very low.
It was previously reported that Iranian authorities confirmed for the first time that 29-year-old Italian journalist Cecilia Sala was arrested for “violating the laws of the Islamic Republic.”
