It has been announced that the Iranian state has sentenced rap artist Tumac Salihi from Lorestan to death. The rapper was arrested during the 'Jin Jiyan Azadi' rebellion.

Emir Reyisiyan, one of Tumac Salihi's lawyers, said that the Isfahan Islamic Republic Court sentenced Tumac Salihi to death on Wednesday afternoon.

Reyisiyan said that the allegations shown as the reason for the death penalty are far from the truth and that they will appeal.
