"His crime was singing in the prison ward."
A first-hand account from Ghezel Hesar prison: Iraj Khajehamiri — one of Iran's most beloved vocalists — was dragged to "Zir-e Hasht," the interrogation and punishment area run by the Revolutionary Guards. His offense? He had sung inside the ward.
By 1990 he was back in the same prison. Lajevardi was there. Iraj was there too — and he still performed for the young prisoners.
No regime spares anyone: artists, athletes, teachers, students. But the sharper question is this: why did not a single outlet report that Iraj was behind bars? Who benefited from that silence?
A short memory, but hard evidence of a system frightened by a single song.
