Houshang Asadi Biography

Houshang Asadi is one of the most popular and richest Writer who was born on January 13, 1950 in Tehran, Tehran Province, Iran. Houshang Asadi, Persian: hwshng sdy – born 1951), is an Iranian journalist/writer.

Asadi plots his path from bright-eyed, idealist politician to a man so broken that he once drank what was left in his cell. He did this to end his life. Asadi’s “decade of intense terror” ended in 1989, but it will continue for many others.

There are some bumps in the narrative—it is not clear at some points when Mr. Asadi is addressing Brother Hamid, for instance, and whether some passages were written on command, as part of his elaborate “confession” in jail, or some years later in Paris…. Nevertheless, Mr. Asadi has offered the world a powerful testament to what transpires in the prisons of Iran—a nightmare that the country’s radical Islamic leadership clearly would be only too happy to export.

From 1979 to 1979, he was Kayhan’s deputy editor. He was made to quit his job after the Islamic Revolution. He then wrote several books, including “Nan” (“Bread”) He was taken into Moshtarek prison and imprisoned there for 15 years. He was held in isolation for over 2 years and was even tortured to the point of suicide.

He was imprisoned under Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi’s reign, and again in 1974 with Ali Khamenei.

In 1975, it was a cold day and I was about to be moved from the cell that we shared. Khamenei, who was extremely thin, was shaking. I was wearing a sweater that I took off and gave it to him. He initially refused to accept it and didn’t want it. We hugged when he accepted it and put on the shirt. He wept and said, “Houshang! When Islam will rule the world, not one tear will be shed.”

However, he was put under pressure by Islamic Republic agents, and forced to leave Iran in 2003, fearing for his life. Now he lives in France, where he has written his latest book: Letters to my Torturer: Love, Revolution And Imprisonment In Iran. (Oxford: One World Publication). His torturer, “Brother Hamid”, became Iranian ambassador to Tajikistan, but after the publication of the book, was recalled into retirement.
