Unifire

Toomaj Salehi, also known as Iran's Son, rapper whose anti-regime songs had scared the demonic regime occupying Iran, has been released on bail after spending 389 days in prison, most of it in solitary confinement under torture, without any medical treatment despite his crucial need for it. 

The timing of his release, only days after the anniversary of Kian Pirfalak's death, reveals the fear of the corrupt government and the intention to distract the freedom fighters with some good news. Toomaj's freedom is, of course, not without restrictions. 

This wasn't Toomaj's first arrest, either. He was arrested in September 2021 after releasing this song: https://youtu.be/DB_vAtHNgoE?si=ISe8jGTFODFK2Wej

The rapper's first words after his release yesterday reflect his concern for all the other prisoners, as reported by the person in charge of his social media accounts.

I expressed my gratitude for Toomaj by posting an open letter to him in November 2022:
