Amir Hossein Maghsoudloo’s five-year jail term increased after prosecutor’s objection, according to reports

Summary

Iranian pop star Amir Hossein Maghsoudloo, known as Tataloo, has been sentenced to death for blasphemy after the supreme court overturned a prior five-year prison sentence.

Tataloo, who had been living in Istanbul since 2018, was extradited to Iran in 2023 and has since been detained.

He also faces charges of promoting “prostitution” and spreading “propaganda” against the Islamic Republic.

The verdict is not final and can still be appealed.

Once a figure courted by conservatives, Tataloo gained fame for his controversial music and tattoos.

    By that logic, people should just never call others stupid, moronic, imbeciles, or idiots?

      It’s a lot easier and much more productive when you learn to talk to other people in a mature, healthy way, and insulting someone, slurs or not, never is. Try leaving school yard talk, like personal attacks, where it belongs, and see how much less stressful it is when you’re not fighting people all the time, and how much more people will listen to you.

        I’m not endorsing confrontational and counterproductive discourse, but I don’t think it’s wrong to say Musk is an idiot. Within the past month he was caught at least three times bullshitting.

        1. Pretending to know what a stack is
        2. Pretending to be another person on Twitter to praise himself
        3. Pretending to be the #12 ranked PoE2 HC player

        I think by any colloquial definitions, it would be fair, and appropriate to say that he’s a moron.
