Iranian rapper Toomaj Salehi sentenced to death

The work of 33-year-old Iranian rapper Toomaj Salehi is as poetic as it is technically challenging - covering topics ranging from government corruption to the 2022 Mahsa Amini protests, he channels the voice of Iran's disillusioned youth. This week, a revolutionary court in Isfahan overruled a previous court decision granting leniency for Salehi, and sentenced him to death. The World's Durrie Bouscaren shares this profile of Salehi's work, which first aired in July of last year.
