Dominican RepublicartistFemale2.7Global Dominance: 0.01%Parastoo Ahmadi is an Iranian singer who gained international attention after being sentenced to 74 lashes and a two-year travel and work ban for performing an online concert without wearing the mandatory Islamic veil. Her concert, which took place in December 2024, was streamed live on YouTube and has since garnered nearly 3 million views. Ahmadi's actions challenged Iran's strict laws against women's public performances and dress codes, reflecting the larger movement of women in Iran protesting against oppressive laws. The verdict against her and her bandmates was issued by a court in the conservative province of Quom, citing the broadcast of 'vulgar and immoral content.'
