Iranian Singer Mehdi Yarahi Flogged for Protest Song
Tehran, Iran – Iranian singer Mehdi Yarahi has reportedly been subjected to 74 lashes as part of a sentence handed down by the judiciary. The punishment stems from his song “Roosarito” (Your Headscarf), which was released in support of Iran’s Woman, Life, Freedom movement.
Yarahi was arrested in August 2023 after the song’s release and was sentenced to two years and eight months in prison, along with a fine and a flogging sentence. Reports indicate that the flogging was carried out recently.
His case is part of a broader crackdown on artists and public figures who have expressed solidarity with anti-government protests following the death of Mahsa Amini in September 2022.
