An Iranian court has reportedly sentenced tattooed pop star Amir Hossein Maghsoudloo, known as Tataloo, to death for blasphemy. The 37-year-old singer has been in detention in Iran since December 2023 after being extradited from Turkey.
Multiple Iranian media sources, including the Iranian newspapers Etemad and Jame Jam, reported on Sunday that Tataloo was sentenced to death by Iran’s Supreme Court after being found guilty of insulting the Prophet Muhammad. Etemad reported that Tataloo was serving a five-year jail term for various offenses, including blasphemy, but his case was reopened at the request of the prosecutor. He received a death sentence on retrial.
