Iranian rapper sentenced to 6 years for protests against government

Toomaj Salehi, an Iranian rapper, was sentenced to six years in prison for participating in protests against the government following the death of a woman arrested for violating Iran's dress code.
Salehi criticized Iran's government in his music and online, calling for the end of the theocratic system.
Over 500 protesters have been killed and 20,000 arrested in the demonstrations, with seven already executed.
Salehi was charged with "corruption on earth" but acquitted of insulting Iran's Supreme Leader and cooperating with foreign governments.
His supporters had feared he could face the death penalty like others associated with the unrest.
