Political Guardian of Tomaj Salehi: I Am Worried About Tomaj's Life

The political guardian of Tomaj Salehi expressed concern over his not being transferred to the regular prison block and stated that he is worried about his security and life. "Yahvan Ray," a representative of the Social Democratic Party of Germany, who is the political guardian of the protesting rapper Tomaj Salehi, called for clarification on the conditions of this political prisoner in a post on social media platform "X" on Friday, January 15. He referred to the issuance of a one-year prison sentence, a two-year passport revocation, and a mandatory "behavior management" course for Mr. Salehi due to the publication of a video file, noting that despite this, he has not been transferred to the regular prison block. Amir Raeisian, Tomaj Salehi's lawyer, announced on Monday, January 11, that his client was sentenced to one year in prison, two years of passport revocation, and participation in a "behavior management and skill development" course after informing about a complaint against the case's agents. In an open letter addressed to Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, the head of the judiciary of the Islamic Republic, he emphasized that this process of investigation and trial "is neither in accordance with the law nor does it pay attention to citizens' rights." The performance of the judiciary of the Islamic Republic has always faced severe criticism from activists and human rights organizations over the past decades. Farough Sheikholeslami: All aspects of Tomaj Salehi's second trial were illegal from beginning to end. Tomaj Salehi was sentenced to one year in prison; the case's lawyer stated: "It was the strangest and most abnormal trial process." Reports indicate severe injuries to Tomaj Salehi due to violent "abduction."
