With MUCH sadness, along with anger, Bambi read in L’Orient Le Jour that rapper Toomaj Salehi has been sentenced to death penalty in Iran (https://shorturl.at/htzX8). As a reminder, Mr. Salehi has been in jail for over a year and a half. According to his lawyer, Mr. Amir Raisian as per L’Orient Le Jour, “the revolutionary court of Isfahan (…) sentenced him to the death penalty for corruption on Earth”, one of the most serious charges in Iran” (https://shorturl.at/htzX8).
“Corruption on Earth“?! Forcing women to wear a strict dress code, when they do not want to, is not corruption on earth? Dictatorship is not corruption on earth? Historically putting the Middle East on fire by proxy (or recently even directly) is not corruption on earth? Risking another world word war is not corruption on earth? However, singing for freedom, unity, and a fair place is corruption on Earth, according to the Islamic regime in the beautiful country of Iran. The world is truly upside down, isn’t it?
Bambi sends her heart to Mr. Salehi and his family. May God help them in those horrible moments of their lives. If this “crime” (this is Bambi’s own word) occurs, it would be the tenth since “nine people were executed in connection with this uprising, according to NGOs”, as per L’Orient Le Jour (https://shorturl.at/htzX8).
Hello Bambi, It is great that you pay attention to international news and post them for more awareness. I don’t know what to say other than repeating what you wrote: The world is truly upside down.
Bambi thanks you, dearest Azi. A very sad piece of news… it is hard to find words to describe our troubled world.
