Iranian-Kurdish rapper once on death row arrives in Germany
[Rudaw] A Kurdish rapper in Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
who was handed a death sentence
...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead...
for supporting nationwide protests in 2022 has arrived in Germany after being freed from jail, a non-governmental organization announced on Friday.

Saman Yasin is a Kurdish rapper from Iran’s western Kermanshah province who recorded songs protesting Iran’s socioeconomic conditions. He was arrested in October 2022 and transferred to Tehran’s notorious Evin prison during the Jin Jiyan Azadi (Women Life Freedom) protests.

He was convicted on charges of moharebeh, or enmity against God, which carries the death penalty
in Iran, as well as "assembly and collusion with the intention of acting against the security of the country."

His death sentence was overturned in October 2023.

Duzen Tekkal, a German-Yazidi journalist and founder of Hawar Help NGO, said on X that Yasin had managed to leave Iran and make his way to Germany.

"While in captivity, Saman was subjected to torture and even mock executions by prison guards... During at least one previous hospital stay, he was injected with an unknown liquid that caused him to lose consciousness for 24 hours," Tekkal said.

Yasin was admitted to a psychiatric clinic at least twice while in captivity, according to Tekkal.

Amnesty International says that Iran has used the death penalty disproportionately to suppress minority groups like Kurds and Baluchis who were active in the 2022 protests that erupted after the death of young Kurdish woman Zhina (Mahsa) Amini while in the custody of Iran’s morality police for wearing a lax hijab.
