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.

      If they were, what would it change? They aren’t somehow personally resposible for it, and having a shitty government yourself doesn’t mean you can’t criticise other shitty governments.

        It doesn’t have to change anything. They can be correct, and I can find the irony funny at the same time. If they hadn’t mentioned Russia for absolutely no reason then I wouldn’t have felt the need to say anything.
