Iranian singer Amir Hossein Maghsoudloo, also known as Tataloo, has been sentenced to death for blasphemy. The 37-year-old singer had been serving a five-year prison sentence in Iran for various offenses, including blasphemy, when a prosecutor requested that his case be reopened. Iran’s Supreme Court issued the new verdict on retrial after the singer was found guilty of insulting the Prophet Muhammad.
“The supreme court accepted the prosecutor’s objection” to five-year jail term for blasphemy, a report from local newspaper Etemad said, per The Guardian. The report added that the case was reopened, and this time the defendant was sentenced to death for insulting the prophet.”
