Iranian officials arrested rapper Toomaj Salehi less than two weeks after his release from prison on bail, where he was serving a six-year sentence on multiple charges stemming from his support for anti-hijab protests. Salehi has been charged with "spreading lies and violation of public opinion." After his release from prison, Salehi released a video message saying he had been tortured after his first arrest, when state media showed a video of him blindfolded and apologizing for his support of the protests.
