Iranian Singer Parastoo Ahmadi Sentenced to 74 Lashes for Performing Without Hijab

18 Haziran 2026The Guardian

Iranian singer Parastoo Ahmadi has reportedly been sentenced to 74 lashes for performing without a hijab during a livestream concert on her YouTube channel. Alongside her, eight members of the production team are facing the same punishment.
The court in Qom province has imposed additional penalties, including a two-year travel ban and a ban on artistic activities, citing charges of offending public decency through 'vulgar and immoral content'.
Iran has a history of strict regulations regarding artistic expression, particularly for women. The enforcement of these laws has intensified in recent years, especially following protests against the government's policies.
This case highlights the ongoing tensions between artistic expression and strict cultural regulations in Iran. The severe punishment reflects the government's stance on maintaining public decency and controlling artistic narratives, particularly those that challenge traditional norms.
