#Parastoo_Ahmadi, a singer, musician, and composer, performed a concert titled “Caravanserai Concert” in one of Iran’s caravanserais without adhering to the #compulsory_hijab, broadcasting it on YouTube.

Due to the ban on women singing and restrictions on their clothing, she has started performing what she calls “Imaginary Concerts.” These concerts defy societal and legal restrictions, showcasing her artistic resistance.

During the #Women_Life_Freedom Revolutionary Uprising, she performed the piece “Ma Ra Bebous” (Kiss me Once for the last time), which received widespread acclaim. In October 2023, a case was filed against her in the judiciary.

In this video, we hear her rendition of “From the Blood of the Youth of our Homeland.”

A judicial case has been filed against #Parastoo_Ahmadi and the team behind the “Imaginary Concert” in the caravanserai.

The media center of the Judiciary of the Islamic Republic has announced the filing of a case against singer Parastoo Ahmadi and the creators of the “Imaginary Concert” clip for allegedly violating the legal and cultural regulations of the Islamic Republic and performing without a permit.

In the days when #Parastoo_Ahmadi challenged the boundaries of oppression and coercion with her courageous concert, we cannot forget #Zara_Esmaili—a woman who, for singing without a hijab on the street, has been left in limbo in prison for nearly six months.

What kind of government, anywhere in the world, imprisons a woman simply for singing a song?

But these voices cannot be silenced. You have chained Zara, and Parastoo has risen. You threaten Parastoo, but rest assured, thousands of other women will rise, singing even louder. These voices are the echoes of freedom, and no chain can silence them.
