TOOMAJ SALEHI
Toomaj Salehi, an Iranian rapper, has been sentenced to death amid significant controversy and international outcry. His charges stem from his involvement in the 2022 protests in Iran, during which he used his music to criticize the Iranian government. This case has drawn attention from the United Nations and various human rights organizations, which have condemned the sentence and highlighted it as a severe infringement on artistic freedom and expression.The initial sentence was even contested within Iran's judicial system. Although the Iranian Supreme Court identified flaws in the original ruling and temporarily released him, a lower court later reinstated the death sentence. This back-and-forth within the judicial system underscores the complex interplay of legal and political pressures in cases involving dissent against the state.
International bodies and human rights advocates continue to press for Salehi's release, arguing that his artistic expression, critical of government policies, falls under the protection of international human rights laws regarding freedom of expression.

Generation Z in IRAN
Iran's younger generation is increasingly alienated from the government-imposed ideals. Today's youth, known as "digital natives" due to their extensive access to the internet and social media, are exposed to a wide array of information and perspectives. This exposure allows them to independently question norms and constraints that previous generations might have accepted without dispute.This generation, raised amid economic crises, political corruption, and severe cultural and social restrictions, is largely indifferent or even opposed to the Islamic and revolutionary values imposed on them. This sentiment was prominently displayed in the widespread protests that escalated since 2017 and notably after the death of Mahsa Amini in September 2022. Many young people participated in these protests, demanding fundamental changes to the country's political and social structure.
This shift in attitude not only affects domestic policy but also marks a profound transformation in how Iran interacts with the outside world. Iranian youth seek international relationships and engagements based on mutual respect and common interests, moving away from ideological viewpoints and historical animosities.
