Patrisse Cullors Instagram – #freetoomaj I’ve learned about this brilliant rapper. His name is Toomaj and he has been sentenced to death. He is an artist using his voice to call out the repression and violence he and is community face inside of Iran. I grew up in a police state. One that decimated my entire community. Used law enforcement to kill my dreams and created an atmosphere of so much violence I am still traumatized today by it. My work as an abolitionist is calling for global abolition. The Women.Life.Freedom movement is an inspiration. I hope we can dig deep and build out an intersectional movement that calls on police states around the world and pushes them towards abolition. That’s what I’m going to do. Connect the dots. #Repost @from____iran ・・・ #BREAKING: Jailed Iranian rapper, Toomaj Salehi is sentenced to death, his lawyer told @sharghdaily1 #ToomajSalehi, a 33-Year-old dissident rapper, was re-arrested in December 2023, less than two weeks after being freed on bail.
