Amir Hossein Maghsoudloo’s five-year jail term increased after prosecutor’s objection, according to reports

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.

            That only works for beetlejuice…wait a minute, if you rearrange the letters in “beetlejuice” you get “Beltted Jettis!” Which, if you squint real hard is approximately Jehovah… Just swap the B for a J, the L for an h, obviously Tees look like O’s. You get the idea.
