Parastoo Ahmadi sang while wearing a sleeveless dress during a concert livestreamed on her YouTube channel in December 2024. Iran’s laws ban public performances by women and require them to wear headscarves and modest clothing.
Iran’s judiciary launched proceedings against the 29-year-old after the video went viral, gaining millions of views, saying the performance was “in violation of the country’s legal and cultural regulations”.
Go to any right wing part of the Internet, and they will insist that Liberals and Leftists support this.
From the comments here, I have no clue where they get the idea. I just don’t want my own freedom of religion thrown in the trash because Republicans hate Muslims so much.
She’s lucky to be alive.
This is life under Islamic rule. There are no PRIDE parades in Iran. You better keep your head down and your mouth shut, or they will murder you.
And once again religion proves how full of shit it is.
religion is just the excuse. It’s conservative men who are full of shit.
Ah, the religion of peace!
An appeals court in Iran has confirmed a sentence of 74 lashes handed to a prominent singer who performed without the mandatory hijab,
Absolutely immoral demented and savage. Only religion can make otherwise “normal” people behave like outright sociopaths.
Religion didn’t make this happen, sick conservative fucks use religion as a scapegoat to be sick fucks. Pay attention most of these twats don’t actually follow their religious teachings, just cherry pick what they want to oppress people. Same shit we deal with in the USA with the bible thumpers.
sick conservative fucks use religion
Aaand there you are, religion most definitely plays a role to justify that shit.
Right, my problem is u said only religion can make regular people behave this way. My argument is that these are far from regular people, these are phychopaths that use religion as justification. No “regular” person comes to the conclusion somebody needs to be lashed because they didn’t wear a hijab.
OK that’s a simplification, but nothing else is as effective at it as religion.
We can agree there! After all, what better way to control the masses then by fear of eternal damnation?

Theres also money, fear, and lust
No those are in no way similar. they have to do with greed and selfishness.
Religion makes people evil without greed or selfishness.
The worst part about Trump being the fucking man-child that he is is that the regime hardliners have now an even firmer grip on power, as he once again proved that there is no way of appeasing the US outside of complete capitulation.
5 Weeks left for this asshole to do what he wants. The left has to come out in such large numbers that results cannot be disputed effectively by anyone.
no criticism of iran for you in this analysis
are you like piker, supporting palestine, iran, even bin laden because america bad?
meanwhile this poor woman wiill be scarred for life if she even survives. i guess there’s no way of appeasing these fundamentalists either
Ain’t theocracy horrible? Members of the Trump administration desire Christian Nationalism for the US, and were it come to pass, we’d see similar things, like systematic discrimination against LGBT people.
USA is already seeing the moral decline from religious influences. With extreme discrimination of minorities, and taking away the right to abortion.
Absolutely if this is allowed to continue it will get worse. But USA is already a country heavily influenced by religious fanaticism.
