About 100 figures in music, culture and human rights activism have signed a statement calling for the release of the Iranian rapper Toomaj Salehi, who was sentenced to death in Iran after protesting in support of women’s rights.
The statement calling for Salehi’s release was drawn up by the advocacy group Index on Censorship and is supported by Jade Thirlwall of Little Mix, DJ Rob Da Bank, writer Margaret Atwood and theatre-maker Roshi Nasehi.
