Mehdi Yarrahi
Mehdi Yarrahi is an Iranian singer-songwriter known for his bold and socially conscious music. His song 'Roosarito' called for women to remove their hijabs, aligning with the protests that erupted in Iran following the death of Mahsa Amini in 2022. In early 2024, Yarrahi was sentenced to 74 lashes and a prison term for his song, which was deemed illegal by Iranian authorities. Despite the harsh punishment, he expressed his willingness to endure the sentence while condemning the inhumane nature of such punishment.
