Iranian singer Parastoo Ahmadi has reportedly been sentenced to 74 lashes for performing in an online concert without wearing a hijab, in defiance of the country's Islamic dress code.
The 29-year-old artist and eight members of her production team have also been handed two-year bans on travelling abroad and engaging in artistic activities, according to Guardian report.
Concert sparked legal action
The ruling is in reference to a December 2024 performance of the patriotic song Az Khoone Javanane Vatan (From the Blood of the Youth of the Homeland), which was streamed on Ahmadi's YouTube channel and later gained millions of views.
