IRAN - Symbolic Concert in Caravanserai
December 11, 2024: December 11, 2024 - IRAN. Symbolic Concert in Caravanserai Leads to Legal Action Against Parastoo Ahmadi and Crew On December 11, Parastoo Ahmadi, a female singer, performed a symbolic concert with a group of musicians in an old caravanserai. The concert, held without an audience, was broadcast live on her YouTube channel. The event drew significant attention and praise on social media but also provoked a response from the Judiciary, which announced legal action against Ahmadi and the concert’s production team. The Judiciary alleged that the performance violated “legal and religious standards” due to the participation of a female singer and cited the absence of proper authorization. In a statement, the Judiciary Media Center said: “A video titled ‘Symbolic Concert’ was published online, showing a music performance led by a female singer without observing the country’s legal and religious standards. The clip, which lacked official authorization and failed to comply with cultural and legal regulations, has prompted judicial intervention. Legal cases have been filed against the singer and the production team for appropriate action.” Parastoo Ahmadi, a dissenting singer based in Tehran, is known for her critical and protest-oriented works, including addressing issues such as the suppression of free speech and the killing of demonstrators. She has faced previous legal actions for her activities.
