From Wikipedia:
Hadi Khorsandi (Persian: هادی خرسندی) is a contemporary Iranian poet and satirist. Since 1979, he has been the editor and writer of the satirical journal Asghar Agha.

Khorsandi is particularly renowned for his examination of Iranian socio-political matters, particularly his open criticism of all forms of dictatorship and religious fundamentalism. He has lived in exile in London, England since the Iranian Revolution, following criticism of the new regime. He was also the subject of death threats during the 1980s.

Khorsandi was the recipient of the Hellman-Hammett Award in 1995. In 2009 he signed an open letter of apology posted to Iranian.com along with 266 other Iranian academics, writers, artists, journalists about the Persecution of Bahá'ís.

  • Hiya Hadi...I have burning, somewhat provocative yet important question to ask you........

    Do you think Showaddywaddy were a good band?

  • Aghaye Khorsandi:

    1. Man be waz mardom dekhalet nakardam, bechater inke jenabeali dar internet hastid, wa na tuye khaneyetan.

    2. Dar awale film neweshtid Satirist: yani kesi ke digaran

    ra ba harf, ja sher masschareh mikond. Hadeaghel inja shoma bayad tahamol konid ke jek nafar shoma ra ham "Satire" bekonad.

    Dar har sorat narahat nashawid. Khodahafez

see all
