   Excellent rap artist against State-murder (death "penalty"), for freedom, equality and justice, against starvation and mass-jailings of teachers, Toomaj Salehi, was sentenced after torture-trial to be State-murdered by the brutally sexist Iran-theocracy after latest arrest during the antiauthoritarian feminist "Women! Life! Freedom!"-protests.

   After a previous jailing for standing up for humanity, Toomaj immediately released another rap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PAR2Uo-vmgY promising to not stop protesting for freedom even if it means death... and was arrested.
   If we don't stand up and protest for those risking their lives for us like this, we will lose our freedom and then our lives.

   Toomaj's rap against State-murder is now unavailable on the publishing location YouTube, so you get to see my copy instead, with English subtitiles:

     'Global Music Awards honors Toomaj Salehi, Iranian rapper, with the Heretic Award for Protest/Activist Music for his song Faal [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jpi7d_uQ5Ec with English subtitles].
     [...]
     Salehi was a vocal member of the protests following the death of Mahsa Amini, a woman killed by “morality police” after not wearing a hijab properly. Above participating in the protests, Salehi helped to organize, calling for demonstrations and spreading the message. For this and the themes in his music, Salehi was arrested for crimes against the government such as “corruption on Earth,” which carries the death penalty, “propagandistic activity,” “cooperation with hostile governments,” and “forming illegal groups with the intention of creating insecurity in the country,” among others.
     [...]
     We can all hope to aspire to the bravery and resolute will of Toomaj Salehi.'
