Iranian artist and singer (born 1997)
Parastoo Ahmadi is an Iranian artist and singer. Her performance of "Caravanserai Concert," performed at Dayr-e Gachin in December 2024 and broadcast live on her YouTube channel, garnered widespread international attention as she appeared without compulsory hijab. In June 2026, Ahmadi was sentenced by an Iranian criminal court to 74 lashes and a two-year ban on artistic activities and international travel for her performance, which authorities characterized as "obscene" and "immoral".
