Udgivelsesdato: Jan 31, 2023

Toomaj Salehi is one of the voices of the revolutionary movement in Iran. The rapper has repeatedly sharply criticized and challenged the regime in his songs. He has been on the streets since September, demonstrating for freedom. Today he is in a prison near Isfahan. The accusation is: “War against God”. Toomaj faces execution. A few weeks after his arrest, state television published a recording of his confession. His friends are sure: It must have been forced. Reporter Armin Ghassim meets Toomaj's uncle and his girlfriend Negin in Germany. They talk about resistance and hope. And Armin meets a former Iranian prison guard. He is certain: Toomaj will be tortured day and night. What's happening to him? And what are the chances for the movement in Iran?
