Nowruz 2025

As Nowruz arrives, bringing the promise of renewal and hope, I and other Iranians around the world welcome the new year with a deep longing for true freedom. This ancient celebration of rebirth reflects our unwavering desire to see an end to the occupying regime that has oppressed our people for decades. We dream of a future where Iran is free, where justice prevails, and where every voice can rise without fear. As we embrace the spirit of change, we hold onto the hope that this year will mark the beginning of a liberated and sovereign Iran.

Your Scarf

In 2023, Mehdi Yarrahi dared to sing a song titled Roosarito (Your Scarf):

For singing this song, the occupying regime in Iran arrested, jailed, and tortured him before releasing him on bail (a ridiculously large amount of money). Finally, he was tried and sentenced. 

Yarrahi explains everything in a recent video (which has English subtitles): https://youtu.be/FHumzB_kaMw?si=GzYWCNcuArfCtEzQ

Today, finally, the last part of his sentence, 74 lashes, was completed.

Yarrahi has not been allowed to work during this time, and even though he is now officially released and his sentence is done, he is still suffering physically, mentally, ... and financially. 

Mehdi Yarrahi has always stood with the people, fighting alongside them with his music. We can support him by listening to his songs on YouTube.

He is also on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mehdiyarrahi
