Hrana: Tomaj Salehi has been beaten in prison

Hrana reported, citing an 'informed source': 'Tomaj Salehi was beaten during interrogation several months after his arrest, resulting in injuries to his right leg and right eye, and he continues to suffer from these injuries.' Additionally, one of Tomaj's relatives told Hrana: 'Tomaj Salehi does not have adequate sanitary conditions in his cell and, despite his injuries, has been deprived of proper medical care, which has increased the concerns of his family and loved ones.' Tomaj Salehi, a protesting rapper active in the nationwide protests of 2022, was arrested in November and deprived of the right to choose a lawyer for two months. He faces charges including 'corruption on earth', 'propaganda against the regime', 'collaboration with an enemy government', 'inviting people to murder and riots', and 'insulting the leadership.' Amir Reisiyaan, one of Tomaj Salehi's chosen lawyers, who was able to take on the case after the indictment was issued, stated on May 7 that the court accepted 'the objections raised against the case' and returned it 'to the prosecutor's office for rectification of the investigations.' He mentioned that it has been 'more than a month' waiting for 'the court's orders' to be executed by the prosecutor's office.
