Parastoo Ahmadi, a 29-year-old Iranian singer, has been sentenced to 74 lashes for performing without a hijab during a livestreamed concert. The ruling, which also includes a two-year travel ban and a ban on artistic activities, has drawn criticism from human rights activists who argue it highlights the ongoing repression in Iran. Prominent figures have condemned the sentence, calling it a violation of human rights and a reflection of the regime's oppressive policies against women and artists.
