Mehdi Mousavi
Mehdi Mousavi, (Persian: سید مهدی موسوی) (born 1976) is an Iranian poet, novelist, lyricist and trained pharmacist.
He is regarded as one of the leading figures of Iran’s post-modern ghazal movement and is known for his socially engaged poetry and literary activism. Mousavi was arrested in 2013 along with poet Fateme Ekhtesari, and later sentenced to nine years in prison and 99 lashes. A group of poets and writers signed a petition calling for their release. He escaped from Iran in December 2015. Mousavi now lives in Lillehammer, Norway, where he arrived in January 2017 as part of the Cities of Refuge Network.
