The spokesperson for the Islamic Republic's judiciary has stated regarding the latest status of Tomaj Salehi's case, the Iranian protest singer, that the opinion of the 'higher authority' has changed some court decisions. Masoud Setayesh, the spokesperson, said in a press conference with representatives of some domestic media on Tuesday, November 21, that Salehi's case is 'under review' and he is currently free on 'bail.' This judicial official claimed that comprehensive and complete investigations have been conducted regarding the 'specific charges' in Salehi's case, and after the investigations, the charges have been communicated. On Saturday, November 18, Tomaj Salehi, the protest rap singer opposed to the Islamic Republic who was arrested during last year's nationwide protests in Iran, was released from Isfahan's Dastgerd prison after posting bail. The spokesperson for the Islamic Republic's judiciary claimed today that the 'higher authority's' opinion regarding Salehi's case was that the court should make 'another decision' regarding 'some charges.' On November 29, Amnesty International welcomed and expressed satisfaction with the temporary release on bail of this opposing rap singer, calling for all charges against him to be dropped and for his 'unconditional' freedom. However, Yi-Wan Ri, a member of the German parliament and Salehi's political guardian, told Voice of America a few days ago: 'He is still at risk.' Arash Sobhani commented on Salehi's release: 'He is an artist who has spoken about the pain of the people.' There has been widespread reaction to Salehi's release; users have heated up the hashtag of his name. Amnesty International USA expressed satisfaction with Tomaj Salehi's temporary release on bail; all charges against him must be dropped. Exclusively, a member of the German parliament and Salehi's political guardian stated: 'Tomaj is still at risk.' The Supreme Court has overturned the ruling; Tomaj Salehi has been released on bail. HRANA: Tomaj Salehi is still deprived of phone calls, personal visits, and medical services.
