Nowruz message from Toumaj Salehi: I continue to resist with you
Toumaj Salehi, a rapper opposing the government who is currently serving his prison sentence in Isfahan Central Prison, has released a Nowruz message on his social media accounts, commemorating 522 days of the glorious resistance of the ‘Woman, Life, Freedom’ revolution.
On Toumaj Salehi’s Twitter and Instagram, which he says are managed by a trusted individual, it reads: I feel the warmth of the hands that planted trees in my memory and the hands that kept my memory alive on the city walls.
Mr. Salehi further wrote in this message: I celebrate the New Year with a smile of pride and honor, and I continue to resist with you. Happy Nowruz to you all, long live the 552 days of the glorious resistance of the ‘Woman, Life, Freedom’ revolution.
On Sunday, March 17, Mr. Salehi’s lawyer announced that his client had been acquitted in Isfahan court of charges of spreading falsehoods and inciting violent acts.
This conviction relates to a case that was formed after Toumaj Salehi’s re-arrest on November 30, 2023, following the release of a video shortly after his release from prison.
