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.

    You mean like how they’re murdering women by preventing life saving health care?

    At least this dude said something. These women were killed for simply being a woman.

    The action is already started.

      I think you misunderstand his point.

      He’s saying nothing will change for the better until we actually see it happen.

        I disagree.

        OP: The thread starts saying america isn’t perfect, but at least they can say what they want.

        Reply: The reply is that Iran didn’t start that way either and with project 2025 were headed that way.

        OP: Project 2025 is boogeyman scary stuff, stop trying to scare people and call me when they actually are doing something.

        Me: They’re already murdering women.

        He’s essentially brushing off the start of project 2025 saying the whole thing is talk, when we have actual actions already. (edit: We have every reason to expect more actions.) (edit: just to further clarify… project 2025 started before 2025, it’s a long term plan by the far right they’ve been working on implementing for a very long time)

      I don’t believe you know what “murder” means.

      Again, someone call me when this project 2025 stuff starts coming to light. And I mean legitimately.
